Jen was snuggled up against Seph; she had fallen asleep after awhile. She just woke up and looked around seeing that they were in the den area on the couch… the dragoness remembered what had happened earlier. She yawned and sat up stretching her arms out behind her head. Getting up she grabbed her shirt from the TV and walked over getting her pants from the door knob that lead to the hall. The dragoness grabbed her bra from the back of the couch and the rest of her cloths from the floor getting dressed when she got them all.
Sephiroth felt a nudge at his shoulder and shot up "Jen?" he questioned realizing he was now face to face with her "I guess we kind of… got a little carried away." He let out chuckling as he sat up getting his cloths tossed in his face. The man slipped on his boxer's and got on his pants, putting on the belt. He flipped his shirt over his shoulder and looked at Jen "I take it you want to get some real sleep now?" Seph let out with a chuckle.
"I wouldn't mind... the couch was killing my back." Jen let out walking off down the hall.
---
Marcus let out a sigh. This was going to be a long rest. He glanced at Kadaj, who was putting some clothes together.
"Might as well make the time I have be useful," The swordsman let out. He then plopped on his bed. "Aren't you going to see Jess?"
"It's not that easy. I used quite a bit of power in the last 24 hours. If I try to go back it would kill me," The demon explained. "I don't think you'd want your messenger dead."
"Hm, well. I guess so. But I really don't know what to come home to while she's gone... I used to go to work and come home to her smile. Then go to bed with her, but now..." The silver-haired man sighed. "Now, I guess I should take the traveling job temporarily until she comes back."
----
Callista sighed and flumped down on the cushion that she had placed by a lava pit. She sat her hand into the molten hot area and closed her eyes; it felt good to be home for a bit. But then again it didn't feel half as good as when she was up on the surface bugging the shit out of everyone. The Halfling ran her hand back and forth through the lava, watching it form into clumps around her fingers, she heard someone come in "Go away…" she let out in a cold hiss.
"But mistress…"
"I don't need any maid services right now I said go." Callista hissed out.
"It is time for your daily lava bath… you can't say no to that." The maiden let out and saw Callista get up and walk over; she bowed her head quickly in respect "I'm sorry…" she let out.
"Learn to respect your mistress. Next time you might not be so lucky." Calli let out before moving off "Gather the others since it's time for my bath…" she let out walking through a small curtain of lava. The demoness snapped her fingers making her cloths disappear as she slowly walked down the steps into the large pool of lava. The sound of footsteps coming in was heard and she spread out her wings. "Try not to damage any of the feathers this time." She let out feeling hands stroke the feathers of the wings.
"They will be extra careful this time my mistress." The maiden from before stated as she walked in. She knew how much he mistress liked the male demons; succubus wannabe's who wore nothing but a g-string and nothing more. Their hooves made rough clunking noises as they stepped on the rough floor. She sighed seeing how Callista wasn't even paying attention to them this time around. "Mistress something is wrong with you today." She let out.
The Halfling held up her hand showing the bound bracelet, she heard a gasp come from the maiden "The worst part is I can't seduce his sorry ass." She let out in an angered tone "He… threatened to take me to a holy realm." She added in.
"Well then get Luci-"
"Lucifer wouldn't help… I will obey the codes and save this mans life… unless he orders me to do something he truly wants." Callista let out.
---
"So what was Callista doing in the shower with you?" Kadaj asked as Marcus remembered that the 'kid' had seen them in there.
"She wanted to seduce me. I don't prefer... girls her type," Marcus let out. "I'm just... resistant to demons like that. It's a trait I inherited from my father. There's probably a few things I don't know I can do, too."
"Lucky you. At least you have powers... all I can do is take materia straight into my body and wield a sword," The silver-haired man let out. "The guest room is down the stairs to the next floor, and it's the third door to the left if you go north." The demon nodded. He didn't want to stay in Seiga's room again.
"Alright... well, I'll go then. You probably need some time to yourself with out anyone coming in or out to bug you." The demon got up and left to the stairs to go to his room. Seigi was most likely still drunk. And he didn't even want to know where Callista was.
---
Callista felt one of the men yank her wing and she let out a deadly hiss at him. She felt his grip loosen as he began to clean the feathers one at a time, this wasn't the first time the demoness had been with the newer demons that were sent to take care of her. They just had to learn how to handle her. Once the wings were done the demoness got out of the water and walked over to a shower like area, turning the knob she lowered her head down as a shower of blood went over her body. Crimson red swirled with golden tan skin as the blood ran over her body and down to the floor.
"Mistress?" The maiden questioned.
"Yes?" Callista questioned looking over to the maid.
"Are you going back up… there?" The maiden asked pointing up to above her head.
"Yes…" Callista let out as she turned off the blood shower and walked over to the servants. She ran her fingers over ones lips and grinned "My little maid shall keep you company boys…" the demoness let out and looked over to the maiden who had a very shocked look on her face.
"B-but…"
"Shhhh." Callista let out putting her finger over the girl's lips "Things won't be too bad… 4 gorgeous succubuses with you…. You should be happy." She let out disappearing; the Halfling appeared in the guest room of Jess' mansion and looked around. Blood dripping off her body and onto the floor, well if Marcus didn't get seduced maybe… just maybe he'd sleep in the same bed with her. No sex, just a quite night… alone… she shook thoughts from her head and ran a hand down her arm flinging blood off "Maybe I should have rinsed off before I came…" she mumbled out snapping her fingers making a halter top and shorts come onto her nude figure.
Marcus was lying peacefully on the bed until the Halfling suddenly appeared. "You're getting blood on Jess' carpet." The demon sat up, knowing he'd probably have to 'fight' her off again. "Don't you get the hint that I don't want to do anything with you at all. I know the code's crap and everything, but you don't have to keep pestering me. Every time you try to seduce me, I just dislike you more and more." He let out a slight growl.
Callista let out a soft hiss and glared back over at Marcus "Listen here…" she let out walking over to the bed as she climbed up on the bed and slammed her hands into Marcus' shoulder as she straddled his hips "I'm your servant until you get rid of me. I can't leave your side because of that crap, yes the code is shit but it has to be followed in order to keep the balance. Weather you LIKE it or NOT I'm stuck with you." The Halfling stated glaring at the demon with narrowed purple eyes "Now… I'm not going to be attempting to seduce you… since your to stubborn and stuck up to take your mind off Jess. But I will be staying here, no say in the matter." The demoness stated letting go of the mans shoulder as she got off him, letting a blanket form up with a pillow the demoness walked in front of the bed and sat down on the floor setting up the pillow before flumping over onto her side.
Marcus didn't want to hear what Callista had to say. Right now, he was wishing that he didn't help her at all. After she was done with her 'speech' he felt her get off of him. Thank God. The demon thought to himself. He looked down to see she'd gotten blood on his clothes and the bed sheets. I didn't even get all the soap out of my hair, nor did I want to get Kadaj's clothes dirty... looks like the next stop is my place once I get the rest of my energy back.
"You said that you'd do a task that I really want?" He let out. What he really wanted was to have Jess to be his own or to be able to bring his mother back... then again, at the moment he really wanted Callista gone. "I really want you to stay out of my presence..." He murmured.
---
It had been a few days since Jess had seen Marcus. She remembered feeling morning sickness when she was pregnant with Kaileena, but now, the ninja didn't feel anything. Maybe she wasn't pregnant after all. The device Sienna used had 98 accuracy so it could've been wrong. "I should wait another month or so to see if it was right... I mean. If I wait half a year that would be... about half a day I was gone," The woman reassured herself. "Maybe I'll stay two years to get some training in with Seiga." Jess slumped back. She'd been lazy the past few days and only read books, draw, or write what she had on her mind.
She really wanted to hear how Kadaj was. Four guys in my life... that I love so much... but heh, one of them's taken. The other isn't mature enough. One of them's a demon. And the last one's... just perfect. The ninja thought to herself and clutched the Souba necklace around her neck. Kadaj was a bit vain, but the woman didn't mind. The necklace was pretty so she wouldn't complain. Then again, what if I picked the wrong one? She looked up to see Keia walk in with some tea.
"I couldn't help but over hear you." The half demon sat a cup of tea beside Jess on an end table. "I'm pretty sure you're going to have kids. It was fun raising Seigi and Seiga... although, Kaileena was a bit of a hassle. But girls will be girls, right?" She took a cup of her own and sat on a couch opposite of the ninja.
"Yeah," Jess replied, half-heartedly.
"So... what's on your mind?" Keia asked.
"Just thinking about my husband," The woman let out, which was half true.
"Rei and I haven't got married, yet... Even though we've known each other for 30 years since I was awakened. " Keia took a sip of her tea.
"Hmm... well, Kadaj and I knew each other for about a month until we got married..." Jess remembered the funny events that took place before they were engaged.
"Rei's too... Rei." The half demon let out a chuckle.
"Who knows? He might not think it was the right time. Maybe he wants it to be perfect or something. I heard he's always getting called out on missions, though." Jess recalled that Kadaj also got promoted. Who would cook for him? She let a small smile form on her face. Like she cooked much. And when she 'cooked' she ordered pizza instead.
---
Callista ignored Marcus and snapped her fingers patting the demonic hound that came up in front of her. The large gray dog looked up at the bed at Marcus for a moment before circling once and lying down beside Callista who wrapped her arm around his neck. "I'd leave if I could but the code is the code if I left I'd be going against it… even if you ordered me to do so I wouldn't be able to..." she mumbled out patting the hound's cheek "Lúthien… will have to keep an eye on you when I'm called down by my husband. That will be the only time I can be away… if my husband calls me out." The Halfling mumbled out as she snuggled up to the hell hound which she called Lúthien. Callista held up her hand and a set of cloths flopped down onto Marcus' lap "Something for you to change into… since I got blood all over your cloths." She let out before closing her eyes for a bit to relax.
Marcus let out a sigh. What else did he desire more than anything? Nothing really. All he was was a servant to the upper level demons... running errands and taking out people.
"What can I do to get rid of you?" The demon questioned. He didn't know what else to ask.
Callista reopened her eyes hearing the question "I don't know…" she mumbled out lightly "I either have to save you from death or…" the Halfling paused for a moment "Or… give you what you desire most and the code will be finished." She explained "Earlier you asked if I could make Jess love you… I can but there is the fact that it would be taking away her free will. She'd just be a slave to you…" she explained sitting up as she leaned over onto the Hell Hound she had summoned "And I am pretty sure you wouldn't want that to happen to her." Callista let out, she was finally being serious for once. The Halfling grabbed the blanket she had and draped it over her shoulders as she leaned onto Lúthien. "Just take me to a holy realm if you want to get rid of me… because I don't think your going to be getting into danger anytime soon." She let out closing her eyes "First impressions mean a lot to mortals… I guess they are the same for demons… my first impression to you must have been bad enough to make you hate me so much." The Halfling mumbled out, it wasn't that loud but it was probably loud enough for the demon to hear.
Marcus sighed, not out of boredom or anger. "I don't hate you, but I don't like you, either," He finally said as he thought about what she said if he made Jess love him.
He sat up on the bed and looked at a nearby wall. What else did he desire most? Nothing really, but there had to be something. I haven't seen my sister for awhile. And I haven't given her a present... plus, I've been too busy. That's good enough.
"Hmm... what I most desire..." He thought about Jess again and her problem with Kadaj's mortality. "Hold on..." He paused a moment. "What would you happen to be able to make a human into an immortal and be able for them to keep their youth?"
"Immortality is something that Lucifer deals with not me. But I do know how to give someone the power." Callista stated leaning over on Lúthien "The only problem with that is that it drains from my life's energy. But if you wish for me to make someone immortal… I will." She explained
"Pah… if someone wanted to be a mortal they should have been born a demon." The hell hound finally let out, apparently not liking the whole subject. "Mortals are meant to die, giving someone immortality is like giving a kid a shotgun. They will abuse the powers and they will have to be dealt with." He added in growling before he let out something in an Elvin language.
"Lúthien!" The Halfling let out smacking the back of the dogs head "Don't go saying stuff like that in that language…" she let out with a soft growl.
"Heh…"
The demon nodded. "Yeah, that's what I want." He got up and picked up the clothes Callista gave him. "Kadaj. I'm sure you know him." He motioned towards the door. "Usually, I don't like people watching me change my clothes."
Callista nodded "Of course I know him." She stated getting up stepping over the hell hound that was still lying on the floor. "When you're done changing if you could at least get me to a bed after I'm done giving him immortality… so I can rest I'd appreciate it." Callista stated before she walked out.
Lúthien watched at Callista walked out of the room, although the hell hound didn't move. Being stubborn was in his nature, plus he was an animal so why should the demon care if he was still in the room? "You know she cares a lot about you… even though she acts like a whore." He stated.
"Why should she? She barely knows me," Marcus responded, pulling off his shirt. She only got blood on the clothes, but it didn't settle in enough to get onto his skin. He didn't mind the animal since it was male and the fact that it was an animal. The demon then pulled the newer shirt over his head. A muscle shirt... figures, but it was better than nothing.
"Hell if I'd know, I'm just a pet." Lúthien responded yawning "She has strange ways of showing affection." He let out shrugging "Either way she cares about you, I just thought you should know."
Marcus shrugged. Most girls only liked him for his looks, and they weren't worth being around. "Well, this is one demon she's not going to bed with." He pulled off his pants and puts on the others.
"Somehow I don't think that was what she wanted. Trust me if she wanted to get you in bed she would have done so a long time ago." The hell hound stated as he sat up "Besides… she likes angels better than demons. And quite frankly… I don't see what she could possibly like about you." He let out looking back at Marcus. Taking a moment to look over his form "You seem… like something she'd rather kill than screw."
"Ha... thanks..." The demon replied. He didn't really care much about what anyone said. In fact, he'd probably want to be killed by Callista then her getting him in bed. "Women... they're so complicated." He tossed the dirty clothes through a portal to dispose of them. Surely if Kadaj just gave them away, he wouldn't mind them going into a pit of lava. Although, the demon was only able to make portals to go to different areas of this realm at the moment.
"Their stupid if you ask me…" Lúthien let out rolling his eyes "You better go help her, I don't want to be on the receiving end of one of her tantrums again." He let out stretching out yawning "Either way… I can pretty much say your not going to get rid of her this easily… she won't be bound by the code so she won't have to do what you say. Which gives her a… better advantage in getting you in bed." The hell hound let out before walking off out of the room.
Fuck... I forgot about the code... Marcus thought to himself. He sighed and followed the hell hound.
"Are you really willing to go through with the immortality deal?" The hell hound questioned.
---
Callista looked at Kadaj who was back in bed; she sighed and walked over pulling up the gloves on her hand "So… you want to be immortal." She let out walking over to the bed sitting on the edge of it "You better not abuse the powers if I give them to you." The Halfling let out with a snarl.
"What?" Kadaj let out. This was a surprise for him. First she tries to molest Marcus then now she's offering immortality?
---
"I don't like her around, but I guess she is going to be around more often if I go through it..." Marcus let out. He then thought one of the holy realms that were livable. "But I think I can deal with it." A smirk formed on his face.
"Take her to a holy realm and I will tear you to shreds." Lúthien let out with a soft growl, he glanced up seeing that smirk on Marcus' face so that meant the demon was thinking of something "And trust me… you'd rather be dealing with her than me." He added in with a snort.
---
"Marcus asked me if I could grant you immortality. I can, and I will since he ordered me to do so." Callista let out looking back at Kadaj "But… if you abuse the powers I will have to take them away. If you want to be immortal it's a large responsibility." She explained "And it's a… special gift so to say."
"Like what powers?" Kadaj asked as he sat up on his bed. He wondered why the demon wanted him immortal.
---
"I'm not going to take her there, but I might live there to make sure she stays away. Holy realms don't affect me, nor do demonic realms. My father is a dark based demon, and my mother is a light based demon so that made me and my sister stuck with shadows," Marcus explained. "Not many things affect me, but whatever can... usually affects me the most."
"Heh… you don't know Calli that well." The hell hound let out stopping by the door "She would go to the realm even if it would kill her…" he let out nodding in "She's stupid… and I swear one of these days it's going to end up killing her."
---
"As an immortal you have a wider… range of powers that you can do. It differs from person to person. I can't exactly explain what type of powers you'll have since you're a human… but if I guessed I'd say you'd get the power of levitation. And possibly some of the holy powers… I'm not completely sure." Callista explained holding out her hand making a book appear as she looked through it, it was in an elfin language "Either way I'm sure you wouldn't abuse the powers…" she stated as she flipped through a couple pages looking for the spell she needed.
"But..." Kadaj let out. He thought of how Jess would out live him and Riku. "I don't get a say in the matter?"
---
"Hmm..." Marcus let out. Come to think about it, she was fairly persistent, but then again she'd have to keep an eye on him. Maybe he could go to the time realm with Jess so every time she checked up, it would be every few days compared to the time in hell. He walked ahead of the hell hound and went to stop her.
---
Callista looked back at Kadaj and sighed "Normally I wouldn't give anyone the power… it's always been up to Lucifer and god who became immortal or not. But since Marcus told me to do so… I don't have much of a say in the matter as well." She explained and glanced over the spell "Here's the spell…" she let out sighing as she got up.
---
Lúthien followed behind Marcus, although he stopped at the door to Kadaj's room. The hell hound sat down and just looked in from the door, he didn't want to 'scare the shit out of' the silver haired man in the room. Knowing that would be the reaction he would have got from Kadaj if he did go in.
Kadaj looked at Marcus who had walked in the room. He then glanced at Callista.
"Why are you doing this?" The silver-haired man let out.
"I'm not anymore. Cancel that suggestion, Callista," Marcus responded.
"What's going on here?" Kadaj questioned slightly agitated.
Callista closed the book and glanced back at Marcus for a moment before she turned around and faced Kadaj "Well… since you don't know fully what's going on I guess I can explain." She let out holding up the arm with the bracelet she had "He saved my life before… I'm bound by the code of the underworld to serve him until I either save his life or give him what he desire's most." The Halfling explained as she made the book disappear turning around to face Marcus again "Why the second thoughts?" she questioned. "I thought you wanted to get rid of me…"
"If I let you do this now, then I won't be able to order you away like I do now," Marcus stated. "I like my privacy."
"So why would you want to make me immortal and is that what you really desired?" Kadaj let out. He thought a moment. "You're not gay, are you?"
Marcus shook his head. "It's what Jess would want. She'd want you immortal. I couldn't think of anything else. I'm fairly... content."
"Why do you care what Jess wants? You're a demon. Demons are almost always selfish..." The mortal responded. He watched Marcus go into thought.
"…" Callista hissed and walked out of the room. Patting the hell hound on the head as she went down the hall.
Lúthien watched Callista walk off and walked into the room behind Marcus, over hearing what Kadaj had said about demons. Sitting down beside Marcus the hound looked over Kadaj for a moment. "If that's what you think about most demons then your wrong kid…" he let out lowering his head down.
"Most of the demons I know are selfish... but I'm married to one so I can't really judge them before I get to know them..." Kadaj responded and turned his attention back to Marcus. "So why?"
"She deserves the best for what I've seen her go through--"
"You don't like her... do you?"
"I can't say. She's always running off and hiding things--"
"You know where she is and what she's doing--"
"Stop." Marcus was tired of being interrupted by this mortal. "I don't see why Jess married such an annoying mortal..." He sighed. "I did it to get rid of Callista, but if she's supposedly my slave, then she'll have to stick around. If she's free to roam around again and not under my command, then she'll try to seduce me. I'm not the type of demon to go for a woman just for sex. And you should at least appreciate what I tried to do for you."
"So you'd rather keep her down to earth and under control." The hell hound let out chuckling as he looked up at Marcus "I'll go see what she's doing, you two seem to be… busy." He let out getting up walking out of the room to go find Callista.
"Well... thanks..." Kadaj let out. He sat back down on his bed. "I just had a crazy thought of thinking you liked Jess as much as I do."
Marcus turned away. The demon let out another sigh and just smiled. "Never," He lied.
---
Lúthien nudged open a door with his head, Callista had gone back to Marcus' guest room. "Hey Cele…" he nodded his greeting to the rustic colored hound "And hello Mene…" the hound nodded down to the green hound as he walked over lying down at the top of Callista's head.
"What's going on Luth?" The green hound let out looking over to Lúthien
"The code…"
"What about the code?"
"Heh apparently Callista's master apparently wants to keep her around." The gray hell hound let out chuckling.
"Oh…" Mene looked up chuckling a bit looking at the other hell hound "What? Has he tried to get her in bed yet?"
"No but she's been trying to get in his pants for awhile now." Lúthien let out chuckling some more.
"Heh… that must be why she's so upset… she can't get what she wants." Cele let out smirking.
"Must be the reason why she called us up here to…" The other hound let out laying his head back down on his forelimbs.
"So what are you going to do now?" Kadaj asked.
"Rest. I need to be at full strength to be prepared for anything," The demon replied, walking towards the door of the room. He glanced back before walking out completely and sighed again. I'm just glad you don't know... Mortals... so gullible... He used a bit of his energy to teleport to the entrance of his room. Marcus then saw Callista. I just wish I never saved you.
"Heh look… its lover boy." Mene let out nodding back up to Marcus.
"What does she see in him? He's a normal demon." Cele let out chuckling for a moment.
"She just cares about him… nothing more." Luth let out looking at the two who laughed.
"There's gotta be more than that involved in this." The green hound let out sitting up looking at Calli who was sleeping. "She can sleep through anything can't she?"
"That's off the subject…" Luth let out "I was just brought into the picture so I wouldn't know…"
"Then why not find out? I mean she will tell you anything Lúthien." Cele let out.
"She wouldn't tell me anything." The gray hell let out sighing.
"Heh... the Elvin language... never studied it, but I can understand a few words," Marcus let out.
The demon took a seat on a one seater couch in the room. He was thinking to himself. If he opened a portal to go to the Realm of Time right now, he'd end up killing himself. So he had to wait awhile before leaving.
"Would you three just shut up…" Callista let out with a growl. "I'm trying to rest…"
Cele looked at Callista and sighed before glancing over to Marcus. Walking over the hound sat down in front of the demon sitting down in front of him. "I thought all demons knew Elvin…" He let out.
"Not really." Luth let out looking over to Cele "Only those who chose to learn it." He stated
Mene sighed and sat up moving off to lay down beside Luth "Leave him alone… come over here and rest." The hound let out closing his eyes.
Cele sighed and let out a growl at the other two hounds who just stared at him for a moment "I'll go to sleep when I feel like it."
"So what exactly are you guys? Her pets?" Marcus questioned. He didn't really care if they attacked him. He was thinking of the reply he gave to Kadaj. "Never..." The word rang through his head. It repeated itself numerous times. He shouldn't love her. She already has a husband, and... They love each other very much. But then why does she cheat on him? The demon shifted uneasily in his chair.
"You could say that… most of the hell hounds down in hell are either a pet to someone or are just a bunch of monsters." Cele stated "We're more like… friends to her. Since a normal hell hound can't speak the human tongue…"
"Heh… normal hell hounds can only speak in that stupid animal talk. They didn't want to learn Elvin or any other language." Luth stated stretching out.
"Either way… Callista looks to us when she's upset and needs someone to actually talk to. Since Lucifer isn't always there for her she's taken us in as… well children so to say. We're here to listen and try to help her whenever she needs it." Mene explained opening his eyes "Although she rarely summons all 3 of us up at once."
Lúthien sat up stretching out his front legs before he got up and walked over by Cele sitting down beside him. "You know why she never summons all 3 of us at once…" he got a strange look from the other hound "Because we always tend to fight about something." The hound let out with a chuckle.
Cele rolled his eyes and shoved Luth away with his paw "Buzz off crazy…" he mumbled out grumbling for a moment.
"So what exactly made you stop Callista from giving that kid immortality?" Lúthien questioned butting Cele's paw away with his. "There has to be more of a reason than keeping her under your command." He stated.
"Seeing how it's hard to keep Callista away when she's under my command... I'd hate to see her when she's not. She's pretty, I'll give her that, but I just don't like girls who try hard to get in my pants," Marcus explained. "Well, I'm a bit more... picky than that."
The demon slouched in his chair. It was pretty comfortable since he didn't feel like getting up and walking to his bed.
"Wow… you really don't know her that well." Cele let out looking at Marcus "Really now, if you think Callista is only about sex then your wrong. Yes she may try to get in a lot of… men's pants but after the first few failures she learns." The hound shrugged "And that's when she will stop."
Lúthien looked at Cele for a moment and nodded in agreement with what the other hound said "Cele's right… But we have no say in the matter." The hell hound let out and nodded for Cele to follow. The two walked back over to Callista Luth lying down in front of her, he felt the Halfling wrap her arm around his neck. Watching as Cele took his position at Calli's feet the hound yawned for a moment before laying his head down by Calli's face.
Marcus awoke and saw light shining through the curtains of the balcony entrance. How long was I asleep? He got up slowly and rubbed his back. No matter how comfortable couches were, they were always uncomfortable to wake up on. The demon glanced at the clock to read that it was already midday. He yawned and walked out to the living room. Apparently Seigi was already awake and on the couch. He was eating chocolate with an ice pack on his head.
"Drank too much?" The demon let out, sitting on the opposite chair.
"I feel like... shit. I need someone to do to stop thinking about this..." The teen murmured.
---
Cele let out a growl like yawn as he stretched out his legs getting up. He cringed at the sunlight… he never did like the bright light of the upper world. Luth and Mene were still out cold… and so was Callista. Shocking, normally she was up early in the mornings. Shaking for a moment the hound just walked out of the room. Catching Marcus' scent the hound walked out into the living room seeing him talking to a teen. Yawning again Cele walked over "Cursed sun…" he mumbled out in Elvin saying several more things as he walked over to the couches sitting down by the arm of the closest one.
"Hey, Marcus... do you know there's a big ass dog looking thing in the room?" Seigi let out, not even getting up.
"Yeah..." Marcus let out. "So you have a headache, right?"
"Hurts like hell... but I got to see some boobs," The teen responded.
Cele looked at Seigi and then at Marcus "I'll go get Callista…" he muttered out getting up starting to walk back to the room.

Mene yawned for a moment and got up stretching out. The hound shook off for a moment before he licked his lips, walking out of the room and walking in behind the couch that Seigi was in. He sniffed the air for a moment before jumping up with his paws on the back of the couch looking at Seigi for a moment. "Whoa kid… you're like a walking beer factory…" he let out chuckling.
Cele rolled his eyes at Mene "He's got a hangover… try not to blow out his ears." The hound stated proceeding to walk by Mene.
Mene chuckled and looked back at Cele before returning his attention to Seigi… well more precisely what he was eating. "What the heck you eating kid?" he questioned.
"Chocolate... it helps relax me. And it tastes so fucking good..." The teen replied, popping another piece in his mouth.
"It's just a sugary treat that rots teeth," Marcus added. "Kids love it."
"I'm not a kid."
"I was just mentioning kids."
"I want a... puppy, too. So I can teach it to bite Seiga's ass," Seigi muttered and chuckled.
"I ain't a puppy kid…" Mene let out as he looked at the stuff that Seigi was eating again, the hell hound had his head by Seigi's now looking at the chocolate.
"That stuff will make you sick if you eat it." Cele let out walking down the hall and into the room.
"You never had… whatever this is before Cele so how would you know?" Mene let out.
Cele rolled his eyes and walked over to Callista nudging her with his nose "Rise and shine sleeping beauty."
Callista groaned and rolled over "Just 5 more minutes…"
Cele let out a heavy sigh and put his paw on Callista rolling her back over "Time to wake up and serve your master."
"Whatever he wants he can get it himself…" Callista let out shoving Cele's paw off her chest and rolling back over.
Cele shook his head and bumped Callista with his paw "Come on girly it's already… day out. Time to get your lazy butt up."
"I said go away… I'm still tired…" Callista let out mumbling as she rolled over onto her stomach.
Marcus watched as Seigi devoured a whole bag within a matter of minutes.
"Best breakfast ever..." He murmured.
"Your mother might've been saving that for something else," The demon remarked.
"She left. She doesn't care. That's why she's always going off on her own. Mother's just like Sephiroth. Neither of them cares... Fuck-faces..." The teen replied
Mene glanced back over his shoulder when he heard a crash and saw Cele against the wall. "I take it… sleeping beauty isn't in the mood to get up yet." He let out.
Cele got up and growled walking back to the living room cussing up a storm in Elvin as he walked by and sat behind the couch Marcus was sitting on.
Luth walked out of the room sighing as he walked up behind Mene before walking over to a side and flumping back down on the floor. "You shouldn't have bugged her Cele…"
Mene closed his eyes shaking his head when he heard the other hell hound cussing more when Luth said something "Come on you two none of this…" he let out, the hound was tempted to snag a piece of chocolate from Seigi now, but knowing Marcus or the kid would knock the crap out of him for doing something like that.
"I think her intentions are good--"
"You just want to fuck her, don't you? Pah. So did some of the other guys at the party. Even Riku... but he's really fun to tease-- And Sephiroth... he had to cheat on his wife to get us..." Seigi tossed the empty chocolate bag to the floor and lay on the couch. He was still pissed off about last night.
"I don't want to do anything like that with your mother. I respect her too much--"
"Is that right? Then how come I smell her on you last night? She pounced you didn't she, or the other way around. I'm not stupid you know--"
"Seigi. Just..." The demon paused a moment. "You got this from your father already, but you're getting older. You need to act more mature--"
"You claim to be different than everyone, but you're just the same!" Seigi yelled and got up. He walked off towards the room he stayed in.
Callista grumbled getting up as she stretched her arms, she just had her bra on and some type of short shorts. Walking out the Halfling saw Seigi heading back to his room; she shook her head and walked down to the living room. "Come on you three… lunch time." She muttered out and watched as the 3 hell hounds dashed over to her. Holding out her hand she made 3 bowls appear with their lunch and walked over sitting on the couch closing her eyes, she looked half dead to tell the truth. Getting up wasn't overly the best time to see Callista; she had half of her full demon form out, which covered her in fur. And she had a… less feminine look.
Marcus just stared at the carpet. He thought about what Seigi had said. The kid was highly impulsive and immature... was the conclusion the demon had for him. He shrugged it off. Apparently Kadaj wasn't here now. He'd left for work hours ago.
I need another few hours... Marcus thought to himself. He didn't want to risk going to the Realm of Time and dying just trying to get there.
The Halfling opened her eyes and ran a hand through her hair; she was now just starting to wake up fully. She sighed and made the fur from her demonic form slowly disappear. Glancing back at the 3 hounds who were gulping down their midday lunch, she rolled her eyes and leaned forward on the couch sitting her chin on her hands "Any orders for me?" she questioned.
"No," Marcus responded. He still didn't like the idea of having a 'slave.' He could do things himself, and that's how he was raised. "Well, you could look after Seigi today. Make sure he doesn't get in trouble," The demon added.
"If that is what you want me to do." Callista let out, she still sounded tired and would have probably agreed to anything the man said without knowing.
Luth finished up his bowl and nudged it making it disappear. The hound walked over to the side of the couch and hopped up lying down on Callista's lap. "You make a nice after lunch pillow." He let out.
Callista groaned "You're too heavy to be a lap dog…" she muttered out trying to shove Luth off but didn't really have the strength to do so. She wasn't really fully awake and she didn't have her full strength yet. "And it's to hot for you to be laying on me." She mumbled out.
Another eternity later it was night time now. Marcus was almost at full strength and was preparing to leave. He was worried about Seigi, though. The teen hadn't come out of his room only to eat and use the bathroom.
"Stupid kid..." The demon muttered. He started walking towards the bedroom. It was now almost midnight. I spent the day resting. Kadaj called and said he'd be back any minute. Marcus thought to himself. He knocked on the door to Seigi's room.
"No one's here!" The teen responded.
Luth walked up behind Marcus and sat down "Callista wanted me to let you know she had to go back down for a meeting in hell." He explained looked at Marcus for a moment "She will be back tomorrow afternoon." The hell hound stated and looked at the door. "If you want… I could watch the boy for you."
"Yeah," Marcus responded. "I'll be in the Realm of Time. Tell her I say watch Seigi." He peered in the room.
"Leaving, too?" The teen let out. "Heh, bye. Don't miss me," He added, rolling to his side on the bed with his back facing the demon.
"Think what you want, kid." The demon sighed and held up a hand, opening a portal. "What do you want me to tell your mother?"
"Fuck off." Seigi still had a slight headache.
Luth nodded and nudged open the door walking into the room. The hound just walked over to the bed so that he could take a look at Seigi's face. Looking at Seigi for a moment he just circled around once and laid down on the floor. "You know you shouldn't say such things." He let out.
Mene was walking down the hall and he stopped when he heard Luth talking. He nodded for Cele to come up with him "Sounds like Luth's trying to talk to someone." The hound mumbled out looking at Cele.
"He's not the best when it comes to talking to people." The other hell hound stated.
Marcus then walked into the portal after Seigi's statement. The teen was still in 'PMS' mode it seemed.
"Everyone leaves me. So why should I care about them?" Seigi questioned.
---
It had been a year in the Realm of Time already. The demon knocked on the door to Jess' house. He could hear the faint sound of a baby crying.
"Hold on!" A voice came. The crying stopped after a few moments as the door opened to reveal Keia.
"Marcus? Oh... you're here for Jess..." Keia let out and looked at the floor. "She's... not here..." The woman began. "Come in." She led Marcus to the living room area and let him sit on a couch opposite of her.
"Do you know where she is?" The demon questioned.
"You see... err- I don't know. No one knows. She was... kidnapped--"
"What!"
"After two months of living here, someone took her. She escaped momentarily to rescue her children and was captured again. But there are people out looking for her," Keia explained.
"How the hell did she get kidnapped?" Marcus asked.
"Some high tech gadgets. She dropped by here, handed me the kids, and then she ran off again saying they weren't far behind." The demoness saw the expression on Marcus' face. He seemed extremely pissed.
"Any leads?"
"She came running from the southeast so that would be your best bet. Maybe in the wooded area. You know that area isn't explored that much due to the sightings there." The woman watched as Marcus got up.
"I'm going to find her." The demon teleported out.
---
Luth sat up and hopped up with his paws on the bed looking at Seigi "What makes you think that everyone is leaving you?" He replied with a question of his own. "There are going to be times in life when you feel that no one cares about you, of course that will be a false thought. I swear mortal children are such whiners at times. But then again, whining tends to help you… out I suppose." Once again the hound started speaking off his mind, which probably wouldn't help much on the situation.
"There he goes blabbing his mouth again." Cele muttered out.
"He really needs to stop speaking what he thinks…" Mene let out sighing.
"I don't care. You guys are just animals. Just leave me the fuck alone," Seigi responded, putting a pillow over his head. He really didn't know what to do now. Seiga was with his mother. Sephiroth said Seigi wasn't worth his time. And he didn't want to cause any more problems for Jen.
---
They've been looking for a whole year... The demon thought to himself. He was in his demon form. His smelling senses were stronger than a bloodhound in this form; although, sometimes that wasn't always a good thing. And yet I've found a trail in a matter of minutes... Marcus continued to follow the scent. The trail was months old, and it seemed Jess had tried to escape numerous times but was unsuccessful.
---
Luth let out a chuckle "If I was an animal I wouldn't be talking to you…" he let out and hopped up onto the bed making sure he didn't step on Seigi "I understand that your confused, I can sense it in you." The hound let out feeling the bed shift under his paws as he stepped over Seigi "But you should at least try to make things better instead of mopping in bed all day and just going out to eat and use the bathroom." He stated.
Cele looked at Mene "Did he actually act serious?"
"Uh huh…" The other hound let out "Shocking?"
"Yes…"
"If I do something, that'll give everyone more of a reason to hate me," The teen murmured. "That's why they hate me..." Seigi murmured.
---
I wonder if Sienna sent humans to do her work. It's a surprise they didn't find this place... Marcus felt a gun being pointed at the nape of his neck. He turned around and broke the weapon. I guess everyone who found it died. He grabbed the person by the neck and lifted the masked creature in the air.
"What's going on here?" The demon let out, growling.
"Put... me... down..." A female voice came. Marcus dropped her and kept his guard up. "Sucker." She took out a dagger and tried to stab the demon in the leg. Marcus dodged it was ease. He moved at a quick rate and pinned the woman to the tree. "Kill me." Marcus pulled off her mask to reveal a woman who resembled Sienna.
"Not yet..." Marcus placed a hand on her stomach and began digging his claws in. "What is this place? And what's going on?"
The lady grunted. She knew he probably wouldn't stop until she told him something. She remained silent.
---
Lúthien let out a sigh and sat down on the bed "Doing something might help you out. Staying in this room will eventually kill you." He let out "You probably have a lot to live for, even if people are pissed off at you. Think about yourself and not what others want you to do or what others want you to be like." The hell hound let out "I'm probably not making things any better for you but at least hear me out. If you stay in here your just letting them get to you, your letting these people pull you down and make you think that your nothing or not worth anything. Don't give into what they want." Luth let out smacking his paws down on the bed. "It's not worth it."
Cele tilted his head to a side "Um… that beds going to break…"
Mene looked at Cele and looked back at the bed "Moron… Luth your to heavy for that bed…" he muttered out shaking his head.
"I did that..." Seigi responded. "I didn't give a damn about what people thought about me then some stupid bastard had to..." He paused a moment. "Why do you even care?"
---
After much torturing, Marcus got in the information he needed. The woman was in fact a human, and he killed her so she wouldn't squeal to the other guards. There was an underground lab about a few miles away. The woman was just the beginning of a lot stronger guards to come, although they were all human.
Humans and their little experiments. He though to himself. He 'cheated' and teleported to the area. It was in a cave. The metal had bits of something in them to keep him from teleporting in. I just hope she's okay... The demon slowly crept around. This place didn't have much security on the outside. Maybe because it was well hidden.
---
"Maybe because I just wanted to help you, although… you probably wouldn't care about me though." He let out jumping off the bed hearing the legs snap. The hound let out a chuckle when the bed fell to the floor "Since you don't seem to want to care about anyone anymore." Luth stated walking over to a corner of the room circling a couple times before he laid down.
Cele looked at Mene before he walked into the room and over to the now busted up bed. "Don't listen to him… he's just trying to make matters worse on you." He stated.
"He needs to come out of the shadows and face what he's afraid of." Luth let out.
"What if he's not afraid of anything?" Mene questioned as he walked in looking at Luth.
"Then he's just a cry baby who still needs his mother's tit to suck on." The hell hound let out snorting as he got tackled by the rustic colored hound.
"You do not have the right to say things like that." Mene let out with a hiss. "Especially about him…" he let out in a growl.
Luth let out a growl and shoved Mene off. Snorting he just walked out of the room, not feeling like staying in to watch a 'whiner baby' or whatever humans called their kids when they threw fits.
Mene glanced over to Cele who just stared at him for a moment. He saw the other hounds attention return to where Seigi was.
"Don't listen to Lu… he's just jealous." Cele let out.
"I'm not," Seigi let out. "Kinda funny... I get laid. I get drunk. I get a hangover. And now animals are trying to give me advice..." He started laughing. The teen seem like he was going somewhat psychotic from the silence.
---
Marcus had gotten past all the security. The woman even told him what cell she was in. He used some of his power to unlock the door. The room was completely dark until he opened it. Jess was there alright, but she was completely nude and asleep in a giant glass tube looking thing. He touched the glass and quickly removed his hand. The glass was freezing cold. How was he supposed to get Jess out without freezing to death first?
"Shit..." He murmured.
"Pardon?" The computer responded.
"Uhh..." Marcus looked at the computer monitor to the right of the tube. "Release her."
"Password, please."
"Fuck..." The demon muttered.
"Password invalid," The computer replied. "You have two more tries until the alarm goes off." Marcus remembered what the woman told him. She told him the password, but he didn't think much of it.
"Code 666," He stated and the water began emptying out of the tubing.
"Password accepted. Releasing experiment 1116," The computer let out. "Warning: Experiment may be hostile. Approach with caution. Experiment may also not awaken for another few hours."
"Just what I need..." He murmured, changing into his human form. The demon took off his coat as Jess was lying on the ground after the draining was finished. She remained unconscious as he wrapped her in the clothing. "Jess..." He whispered. "Wake up." The demoness remained quiet.
---
"I bet your thinking this is just one big… dream." Cele let out chuckling for a moment "Either way, I'm not going to talk to you if you don't want me to. Unlike Luth I actually take a persons feelings into consideration." He stated.
Mene laid down on the floor looking at Cele, he heard Luth go into a random room. Probably to find something to chew on to relieve his frustration. "Hey just say the word and we're gone kid." He let out.
"Somehow I think he might want a bit of company…" Cele let out looking at Seigi "Or something to talk to about what's troubling him." He stated.
"Joy… another person to bore my ears off." Mene let out in Elvin hoping Seigi didn't know what he said.
"Just leave," Seigi ordered. He didn't want to be lectured. He got enough of that from his father yesterday. And even a comparison to his dead half brother.
---
Marcus had carried Jess back out. It seemed way too easy.
"Put #1116 down." A voice came from the darkness. People with guns came out of the shadows. "Or we'll open fire."
"I was right," He let out and transformed into his demon form, running passed them. The demon sent a fire ball towards the direction of the building. Due to all the chemicals inside, it exploded in no time, but it didn't reach him or Jess. He stopped to looked back for any survivors. Even though he liked Jess, he was still a demon and loved the kill.
"Demon!" The man that warned him yelled and shot something at him. Marcus let it hit him and walked towards the human after setting Jess down. Several more shots came. "Fool." The human chuckled as Marcus impaled him with a claw. "Those bullets... heh... you'll find out soon..." He murmured and died. The demon tossed him to the side as his wounds healed.
"Bluffing." He picked Jess back up and tried to teleport back. No luck. The demon then tried to shift into demon form to run back, but still... nothing. "Great. Could anything get wors--" Thunder came from a short distance. "Thanks a ton..." He murmured and started walking and carrying Jess.
---
Mene looked at Cele and saw that the hound didn't move. Although he knew the hound was stubborn he really didn't want to see the teen get upset "Come on we should listen to him." Mene let out getting up and walking out of the room.
Cele sighed and got up "Well just know that I'm here if you want anyone to talk to." He let out and followed after the other hound "I won't lecture you like that father of yours." The hound added in as he walked out of the room.
"Mind reader…" Mene muttered out in Elvin.
"Naturally I wanted to find out what was wrong." Cele replied in the same language "Things got a little hectic for the boy… I'm sure he'll want someone to talk to eventually."
---
Marcus felt the blood loss getting to him. Maybe I should've made an effort to dodge them.
He grunted and dropped the demoness. Pain shot through his body as he clutched his chest area that was shot the most.
"Marcus?..." Jess let out as she barely opened her eyes. She was shivering uncontrollably as she crawled towards him. "What's wrong?" The demoness let out a bit concerned.
"You're cold... don't worry about me." He got up and helped Jess stand as more thunder came. "We better get out of here before--" The woman hugged him.
"You came for me." She was still wet and freezing.
"There's another cave over there." The demon pointed out the entrance. "We can rest there while the storm passes by." He picked the woman back up and started towards the cave again.
---
Luth was in a room gnawing at a random shoe he had found on the floor, the shoe was basically tore to the extent that you wouldn't even be able to tell it was a shoe.
---
Mene yawned and jumped up onto one of the couches in the living room, poking the remote with a claw he managed to turn on the TV.
"Cartoons?" Cele questioned jumping up onto the other couch laying down with his hind legs stretched out behind him.
Mene poked the remote with his claw again and changed to some random channel with a bunch of animals "Animal Planet I think…" he let out.
Kadaj walked in the house and gasped at the sight of the creatures in the living room.
"Aren't you guys... Callista's pets, right?" He let out and hoped to God they were.
---
Marcus let out another grunt and placed the demoness gently on the ground this time.
"You can't teleport either?" He questioned, watching the woman shiver some more. He would help by using his body heat, but he didn't say anything.
"I haven't been able to use any of my demonic powers since they injected me with something on a daily basis. They were going to try to make me into a human for some odd reason..." She explained. The woman moved closer to Marcus. "You're so warm..." She made the demon turn a slight color of red.
"We should leave right after this storm," He let out and sat next to Jess. "I'm surprised you lived through that cooler."
"So am I." Jess snuggled up to Marcus as her coat opened up a bit to reveal some cleavage. She wanted to get warm.
"Your coat's open," He mentioned as she climbed on top of him as the coat fully opened.
"I didn't notice." She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed the demon on his lips. It'd been a long while since she last had a sexual encounter with anyone.
---
Mene looked up from the couch at Kadaj "If we weren't her pets we would have probably attacked you." He let out returning his attention to the TV.
Cele was to focused on the TV to bother looking over at Kadaj, apparently whatever they were watching was catching his attention and he didn't want to look away.
Mene shook his head and was about the change the channel again.
"Don't change it…" the other hound let out.
"So... what are you doing here?" Kadaj questioned, still feeling uncomfortable in their presence. He put his coat in the closet.
---
Jess felt Marcus draw back. It seemed he was a bit reluctant. "What's wrong?" She asked, tracing his abs and going lower.
"I got what I wanted, but..." The demon took her wrist and stopped her hand. "I can't."
"Why not?" Jess whispered; her mouth close to his ear. Marcus kept his eyes level with hers even though he wanted to look down.
"You said yourself. It's not fair to Kadaj," The man let out and wrapped her in his arms. He had her chest against his so he couldn't see anything.
"I can make an exception." She pulled back and completely took off her coat. Her body was cold to the touch. The woman felt Marcus give in and started kissing down his neck. Even though she had her children a few months before, she looked as good as ever. Jess began unzipping his shirt and felt another layer. It seemed she was going to have her fun undressing him completely.
---
"Callista's down at a meeting so she doesn't need us…" Mene replied watching the TV again with full attention.
"What is it with mortals and love? It's like they always throw it away…" Cele let out snorting "It's like a person can't get enough from one mortal… they have to go after another." The hound mumbled.
"What exactly is this show? Some stupid sex flick?" Mene questioned itching to just change the channel.
"Must be… that or some really sappy porno…" Cele let out laughing. "Oh yeah… you um might want to check one of the rooms. Luth is on one of his chewing fits and I think he found a bunch of shoes…" The hound let out.
"It's called a soap opera..." He paused a moment. "There's another one of you guys?" Kadaj let out. He sighed and started towards one of the rooms he heard noises in.
---
Jess already took off Marcus' shirts and was working on his pants now. She felt him running his hands up and down her body. He knew just how to do it. The demoness let out a soft chuckle from when he rubbed her inner thigh area. That part of her was one of the most ticklish areas on her body.
"We should stop..." Marcus let out and felt Jess tug off his pants along with his undergarment.
"Not yet..." She whispered, admiring what she saw. The woman moved her body against his. He was lying down, which gave Jess the upper hand. He seemed to be enjoying this with somewhat of a guilt.
Callista was in one of the trees close to the cave, purple eyes gazing down at the two watching them. She snorted, her claws on her hand sinking into the bark of the tree causing it to splinter off. Her tail twitched around behind her, in an agitated manner. She had gotten off early from her meeting and decided to check in on Marcus, when he wasn't at the mansion he was in before the demoness checked her binding bracelet and found he was here… with another woman. Must be that 'Jess' girl that he was in lust with. The Halfling snorted again rolling her eyes, she was jealous, who couldn't tell?
---
"A soap opera…" Cele muttered out "What a name for a stupid show." The hound muttered out.
Mene chuckled "I never saw soap in it yet." He let out.
---
Luth had a show in his mouth as he chewed on it some more before spitting the drool covered thing out at the floor. He looked around and found something else to chew on, this time an innocent stuffed toy got mauled by his fangs.
Kadaj peered into the room Luth was in. He saw many of Jess' shoes torn up.
"You're just lucky she isn't here," He commented. "Heh, I won that toy at a carnival for her. Never thought she'd keep it."
---
Without their demon senses, neither Jess nor Marcus could tell if anyone was watching. The demoness moved herself on top of Marcus as he felt his member go into the woman's entrance. He couldn't believe what was happening.
The demon placed his hands on her hips as she began making small circles against his body. She let out a soft moan due to the pleasure of the friction going on.
Callista rolled her eyes and held out her hand snapping her fingers making a large wall of fire come up in front of the cave, sure the rain would put it out but why not add some extra heat to the already heated up scene. Maybe giving them a hot ass would help warm them up, the Halfling let out a cold growl and made the flames block the cave before she disappeared.
---
Luth glanced up at Kadaj dropping the toy down on the floor "Eh heh… um… force of habit." He let out sitting up looking at the silver haired man.
"It's okay, I wanted to trash that thing anyway... it's so ugly," Kadaj responded. He looked at the destroyed shoes. "I hope Jess won't mind..."
---
Jess peered at the wall of fire that had appeared. She let out a gasp and felt Marcus sit up and put his arms around her still cold body.
"I think we should go deeper in the cave," The demon suggested and kissed the woman again before she got off and wrapped herself in the coat again. Marcus put on his boxers and pants, but he just picked up his shirts.
"I'm sorry... I wasn't intending to pressure you..." The woman apologized as she felt Marcus kiss her forehead.
"It's alright." He turned his attention to the wall of flames. Callista... He thought before leading Jess deeper inside the cave.
"Do you think they know where we are?" Jess let out concerned.
"It's Callista. You know. Jen's daughter. Well, she tried to... seduce me, but it didn't work," Marcus explained as he heard water. "Do you hear that?" He walked on ahead and saw a waterfall in the cave.
---
Luth looked up and sighed sitting up as he picked up the toy "Callista's back… and she's upset." He mumbled out as he stood up walking out of the room. Heading towards the room that he knew Callista would be in. The hound walked in after he nudged open the door and saw the Halfling on the bed. Walking over he sat down on the side of the bed and got patted on his nose by the demoness. "Troubling matters?"
"Yeah…" she muttered out sighing. Feeling the hound put his front paws up on the bed Callista just sighed again patting the hound on the side of his head "What is wrong with me Luth…"
"Why would you ask me something like that? You know I see nothing wrong with you." The hell hound let out.
"There must be something wrong with me… to make my master hate me so much…" She let out shuddering for a moment as she closed her eyes.
"Now now… I am sure he doesn't think that of you." Luth let out.
"Yeah right… He hates me." Callista let out feeling the hound tug at the blanket, she just kicked it off her feet "I'm not cold…" she muttered out.
---
Jess followed the demon. She'd picked up his shoes earlier and placed them on a nearby rock.
"I never thought I'd see a place like this again..." Jess murmured and looked up. The place was lit up with a few holes in the 'ceiling' that lead to the surface.
"Hmm?" Marcus let out as the demoness walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him.
"I've been to someplace like this before..." She replied and felt him lift her head up by her chin to face him. He kissed her gently, but apparently she wanted more as she let her tongue go into his mouth. Jess liked to kiss this way for some odd reason.
---
Luth sighed and let go of the blanket dropping the toy he had in his mouth on the floor. He nudged Callista with his nose "Your chilled… you need to cover up…" the hell hound let out.
"I'd rather freeze…" Callista muttered out shoving against Luth's nose.
"Come on now… don't be so stubborn…" Luth let out.
"I said I'd rather freeze…" The demoness repeated herself and rolled over so her back was to the dog, the area around her wings was bloody… she must have tried to force them into her body.
"Callista… come on now surely whatever you saw wouldn't get you down like this…" The hell hound stated and heard Callista sigh loudly. "Then again… maybe it could." He mumbled out.
"Tell Marcus I had to go someplace…" The demoness let out sitting up as she disappeared. "And tell him he better be damn happy with his little bitch…" her voice came in through a black mist before it slowly trailed off.
Luth gritted his teeth lowering his head down hearing Callista's words… the hound sighed and walked over grabbing the toy again before walking out. He went to the living room and saw Mene and Cele staring at the TV. The hound snorted and rolled his eyes.
----
"Why--"
"Callista says I saved her life and by some code... she has to be my servant for awhile. Until I get something I desire most or if she saves my life," The demon interrupted. He knew what she was going to ask about Callista.
"Oh..." Jess let out, feeling that Marcus didn't bother to zip up his pants. The demoness back up to the edge of the water. She dipped her foot in, feeling the warmth of the liquid. "Come on," Jess teased as she tossed off Marcus' coat and walked in the water until it got to her neck. The demon chuckled and took off the clothes he had on before jumping in after her.
---
Callista sighed as she leaned back against a completely white tree, her body was surrounded by a fire and it was burning… but she didn't seem to care right now. The flames licked at the tree but didn't burn at its bark… apparently only the demoness was being affected. "Yeah come on… burn me…" she let out "Purify me! I don't give a damn what you do to me anymore!" she yelled out in a growl narrowing her eyes…it was like she was just yelling at nothing.
"Purifying you would just make you disappear." A voice let out behind the demoness.
"Good…" Callista let out pulling her knees up in front of her face as the flames burnt her face more.
"Why do you feel so… angered demon?" The angel questioned walking up beside Callista, spear in hand stated he was a guardian.
"I'd be better off dead even if I told you…" Callista replied closing her eyes.
"Everything has a reason to live, and I know this isn't your time to die." The angel replied sitting down "Now what is truly bothering you?"
"I'd rather not talk about it…" she muttered out.
---
"That's not fair..." Jess let out as Marcus had his arms around her.
"You're still cold, I have to warm you up," He joked. Usually, he never really joked. The demon seemed more playful now that there wasn't a big cave entrance to distract him. He moved her body closer to his into water that was slightly shallow. One of his hands made their way to in between the woman's legs. She moved her body close enough so that she had access to his neck. The woman began nibbling at his neck slowly as she felt her body getting warmer.
---
Callista sighed and felt the angel's spear get sat down beside her legs. He was trying to comfort her… he must not know who the hell she was. "I'd rather have you leave… I am unpredictable and I could attack you."
"All the more reason for me to stay. If I left you'd probably kill some innocent." The angel let out and got his throat grabbed by the demoness who had gone to her demonic form.
"I said leave…" The demoness let out with a growl, her voice could barely make words due to its harsh natural growl. She snarled showing the fangs and drool she had, the flames on her body making each tooth shine with the light.
The angel gasped for air and tried to reach down to grab the spear, but the demoness stomped on it with her foot breaking the weapon in half. "I-I was only trying to help…" he let out through a gasp.
"I don't need your help!" Callista yelled out throwing the angel causing him to slam through several trees. She saw the blood from the angel splattered acrossed each of the fallen trees and that kicked in making her more demonic than human… The demoness slammed her foot down on the ground letting out a roar which made the tree behind her shake slightly.
---
Marcus removed his hand from between Jess' legs again. He took in a deep breath and exhaled it.
"I can't," He repeated and started towards his clothes. The demon made Jess all... horny and just left her. Jess quickly rushed after him. She went in front of him and stopped him before he got out of the water.
"Just once for me..." She pleaded as he tried to walk past her. The woman wouldn't let him.
"Alright..." He replied, picking her up and carrying her to the edge of the water.
---
Callista growled and glanced over her shoulder. She heard the shouting from several of the arch angels coming her way. Snorting the demoness turned around holding her ground… she didn't give a damn about her special code now. This was her passion… killing angels and seducing them.
"Get the holy ropes!" One of them yelled out as he launched himself at the Demoness who just simply grabbed his spear holding him midair.
"Heh… bring out your best weapons… I'm in a fucking pissed off mood today." She let out slamming the angel into the ground roughly as several ropes got wrapped around her arms, legs and neck burning her more.
The angel that was thrown down got to his feet, gripping his spear he rushed in to try and stab Callista in the side, but they had forgotten her tail. He got slammed in the side and the spines she had hidden under the fur stuck out of the mans side.
Callista growled and jerked back against the ropes pulling the angels holding them forward, she felt the bracelet on her wrist start to vibrate and soon a loud buzz sounded off from it. Snorting she just ignored it… it was just the warning buzzer for her reckless stupidity. "Come on boys… KILL ME!" she roared out feeling more roped get wrapped around her body burning more down into her flesh.
Getting up the arch angel stood up and looked at Callista who fell down to her knees… probably due to the pain of all the holy ropes and not to mention the realm working against her. Walking over he clutched onto his spear lifting it over her head, aiming it for the back of her neck "Angels aren't supposed to kill unless we have a good reason to… you're here for a reason that I do not understand but I will end your suffering for you demon." He let out.
---
The demon had just gotten comfortable with Jess, but he heard the loud buzzing in his coat pocket.
"Ignore it..." Jess whispered and ran her hands up the demons back.
"It's Callista..." Marcus responded, getting off of Jess and putting his boxers and pants on. He walked over to the coat.
"What's that?" The demoness questioned, rolling on her stomach still partly in the water.
"Just a... well, a bit like a cell phone," The demon explained. Really, what's making it do this? He thought to himself. "Callista! Come here right now!" Marcus yelled. Jess got up and put on the coat. She hated being interrupted.
---
Callista had her eyes closed when she got teleported out of the realm. The Halfling crashed down on the ground in a smoking heap and it took her a couple moments to fully get her bearings correct. Still in her full form she got up and glared over at Marcus, growling softly as she narrowed her eyes "Why did you save me? I wanted to die…" she hissed out, nearly falling over due to her body being so weak. "They would have ended my suffering in a matter of seconds and yet YOU had to go and get me out…" Callista let out with a growl before she collapsed down onto her knees panting, her focus was on the ground now and not Marcus. Really if she had the strength she probably would have walked over and smacked the shit out of the demon… not caring about her code or anything like that. "Just go back to fucking your little sex toy over there… fuck her damn brains out and make her scream out your damn name…" The Halfling let out snarling coldly at the ground, her body was still smoking in areas where the ropes had been.
"Why the hell are you so... suicidal?" Marcus questioned as Jess blushed slightly at the sex toy comment. The demon felt Jess grab his hand from behind. He didn't know if she was gaining her powers back yet, but it was most likely no.
"Why the hell should you care?" Callista replied with a questioned as she let out a heavy breath "You have your sex toy right there… you shouldn't care if I want to kill myself." She hissed out cringing for a moment as she let out a cough. Finally the holy realm she was previously in was finally starting to kick in with the bad effects. The Halfling just sank her claws into the ground, heaving up a couple breaths up as she tried to get herself in a… slightly better condition. A cough emitted from her throat as she let out a groan… now she felt sick… sick to her stomach. "Just send me back where I was… That's where I want to be! Not with you and your little bitch!"
"Is that why you're so upset?" Jess let out calmly. "Well... if you're mad about what Marcus and I did... I can stay away from him if you want me to." The ninja stayed back. She could possibly be killed in a matter of seconds due to her weakened condition.
"What!" Marcus exclaimed.
"We're hurting more people together than when we were just acquaintances. Thanks for rescuing me and all, but..." The woman's voice trailed off. If Kadaj knew...
"But we--"
"I'm... already married. I have to keep reminding myself of that..." The woman shook her head. She started walking towards the exit of the cave.
"You could die out there! You don't have the strength now!" The demon started towards Jess.
"You're just one of the few who would miss people. Some people don't even know if I'm alive." She was referring to her real family. They didn't know where she was. Just another one of the thousands of kids missing. Of course, now she wasn't a kid.
Callista just snorted and tried to pick herself up to her feet. She managed to get a foot off the ground with her hands before stopping to shudder due to a burst of pain in her body. She saw that Jess was leaving… like she cared… but then again Marcus… the Halfling growled and held up her hand making a flame wall come up in front of Jess to stop her. The demoness let out a rough breath and was panting again… she used to much power already and well using more could just kill her. The fire wall was weak… but maybe it would keep Marcus' little lover from running off and dieing. Callista let out a cough and closed her eyes, her mouth hung open slightly as she took in several deep breaths, letting the drool from her fangs just drip down to the floor forming a small puddle.
"What are you doing? You're killing yourself!" Jess yelled and fell to her knees. She wanted to leave right now. But she felt so weak...
"Jess..." Marcus let out. He started walking towards her. "What the hell are both of you thinking?"
"I'm thinking... I cause more trouble in this life than I'm worth..." The ninja replied. "I don't know what her excuse is." She motioned towards Callista.
"I care about him… but if you mean a lot to Marcus then you shouldn't leave… even with me here." The Halfling let out clutching her side as another burst of pain set it. She closed her jaws again and tried to get back up onto her feet but failed in the attempt, she ended up collapsing back down in pain. "I am sure you care about Marcus as well… you shouldn't… go out in that weather and get… yourself sick and die." Callista let out huffing up a breath that nearly made her gag and throw up. She'd never been like this before even after a near death experience in a holy realm…
Marcus didn't know which one to run and help. Callista was in physical pain, and Jess was in emotional pain. From what he saw, both didn't like people helping them.
The ninja looked up to see an opening in the flames. "Trust me. After awhile, no one will remember me," Jess stated before taking off and leaping through the small opening. She looked back and began running out into the storm.
"Jess!" The demon shouted. No use. She wasn't going to turn back anytime soon.
Callista grunted and forced herself up to her feet. She almost fell backwards but kept herself fully up right; the demoness let out a heavy breath and closed her eyes "Amin khiluva lle a' gurtha ar' thar Gurth gothlye Yala onna" the spell was in Elvin, but it should have been simple to understand the words. The Halfling let out a hiss of pain nearly falling over, but she was soon supported by Luth who helped her over to the wall. "Go… after Jess… she's out in the storm."
"But you…"
"Just go…"
Luth lowered his head down and reluctantly left Callista where she was. The hound saw the fire wall and figured that was the exit out of this place, taking off in a fast paced run the hound took off past Marcus and jumped through the fire, his feet making a loud THUD when he landed and kept going.
Callista closed her eyes and shifted back to her human form falling down to a sitting position, she was pretty much half dead now. The summoning spell just sapped her of the rest of her energy, she felt like she couldn't even move. Her breathing was calmer now but a lot slower, in fact at first glance you might not have been able to tell she was breathing.
Marcus watched as Luth leapt out of the cave. He then walked over to Callista. The least he could do was help her a bit.
"Are you just mad that you can't get in bed with me because you aren't the first," Marcus said, taking a seat beside the demoness.
---
Jess kept running. A bit of her demonic strength was coming back. She was soaked from the small pond in the cave and the rain. Suddenly, she stopped. A cliff was right in front of her. The ninja peered down. She couldn't see the bottom. After tossing a few rocks down, she decided it went pretty far down. The woman took a seat on the edge of it not caring if the cliff stayed intact or not.
"Stupid Marcus... stupid Kadaj... stupid Riku..." She murmured. "Damn you all!" She yelled and punched the rocky part of the cliff she was on. Her fist began to bleed, but she didn't care. I should've stayed in my home world. I would've never caused this much pain... The ninja thought to herself as her legs dangled over the ledge.
Luth had his nose down to the ground, sniffing at the area. He smelt humans around… but there was one different scent. Must be that Jess person… lifting his nose out of a puddle the hound took off in the direction the scent lead to. Slowing to a walk the hound noted the woman sitting down. She was on a ledge of some sort… approaching her might make her jump off. But then again… she didn't seem likely to jump yet. Walking over Luth came up beside Jess and took a seat down beside her, looking at the large opening that was in front of him.
---
Callista cracked open her eyes slightly hearing Marcus' question… well at least she thought of it as a question. "It's clear to me that I am not wanted by you… I can't change that and I'm finally accepting it." She let out looking away "I'm not mad… just a little jealous… but then again I shouldn't have been trying to get you in bed at all…" the Halfling stated and grabbed her wrist around the area with one of the burn marks from the holy ropes. "Just leave me be…" she mumbled out.
"Without my powers I can't do much so if you wish to be alone, then I'll just leave," Marcus responded. He walked over to his remaining clothes and put on his shirts. The demon was going after Jess.
---
Jess took one look at the thing that sat beside her and got up quickly. She started backing away slowly. The rain was still pouring, making the ledge more slippery.
"The hell--!" She let out before falling backwards. At the last moment, she grabbed a hold of the ledge and gasped. Her other hand was useless because of her hitting the ground. So what if she let go?
---
The demon looked at the ground. Muddy footprints lead into the forest. "Shit..." He muttered and ran along, following them. He soon came upon Luth and a drop off. "Did you find her?" He let out.
Jess didn't reply or say a word. She wanted to let go, but something was holding her back.
Mother... Don't throw away your life. You have two beautiful babies to live for... Kaileena's voice came. Do you know how much I'd give to be alive again?
"Kaileena?" The woman murmured.
The hound didn't answer Marcus' question, he had quickly gotten up and jumped over to the area where Jess had gone off. Although he kept himself from grabbing a hold of her, his fangs would just cut into her arm even if he did grab her lightly. But then again… he didn't care much the hound reached down and grabbed Jess' arm as light as he could with his mouth. If she fought he might end up dropping her, if she didn't then the hound could just pull her up.
---
Callista sensed Marcus leave… right now she didn't care if he stayed or not. Picking herself up to her feet she walked over to the water and sat down… well more like fell down at the edge of the water. She sat her hands in the water and splashed some up on her face… she had to cool off. Overheating would make her sick… and that could kill her in this weakened condition. Maybe she should have let him stay… maybe it was the guilt that she was now feeling?
---
Marcus watched as Luth was trying to pull something up from the ledge. The ninja struggled to get out of the hound's grip and felt her flesh ripping.
"Fuck you, too Kaileena!" Jess yelled as she still tried to get out of Luth's grip.
"Jess!" Marcus yelled and rushed over to the ledge. It was a good thing she zipped up the coat before she decided to fall, otherwise it would've showed everything. He tried to grab for her arm, but she fought him, too.
"I don't want to get rough…" Luth let out through Jess' arm and his mouth. Although he did tighten his grip. Pulling back a bit the hound attempted to get her back up on the ledge with as little difficulty as possible… if she thrashed around she could hurt herself but the hound hopped that Marcus would be able to get a hold of the woman before anything like that happened.
Marcus reached down and grabbed the woman's other bloody hand. He helped to try and pull her up. Why is it that these two women try to kill themselves because of me? He thought to himself as he pulled the ninja up.
The woman plopped on her legs on the ledge. The rain was still coming down, but now it was harder.
"Why?..." She let out.
"You do the craziest things, Jess..." He kneeled in front of her and held out a hand. One of Jess' arms was torn up while the other had bloody knuckles. The ninja kept both hands in front of her.
Luth let go of the arm he had in his mouth and backed up sitting down. Feeling somehow that Jess didn't overly like his presence, it might be the first time she had seen a hell hound… it might not but some how he could tell she didn't overly feel safe with him there. He didn't want to overly try and get rough pulling her up, he may have bitten down a bit too hard seeing the marks on the woman's arm. His fangs had been sharp… and they were kept sharpened so they would always be capable of tearing into things… but he didn't really want to hurt Jess although his actions were against that.
"Leave me here..." Jess pleaded. She didn't want to go on anymore. The woman knew she'd cheat on Kadaj again, but she didn't want to. What she wanted most was to have this world erased of her so that not as many people would have died thanks to her.
You're doing it again, Mother. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have--
Just about got me pregnant with a half dragon child? Heh, Kaileena. You died young. So stupid... Maybe I should've just leapt off the cliff when I had a chance. Or got lost somewhere when I was a human! She fought back Kaileena's voice in her head.
What about Seigi and Seiga--
They were created out of sin. Cheating... They shouldn't be here at all. If I were only stronger, I wouldn't have done anything with Sephiroth. But... I'm weak... A tear came down Jess' cheek, although no one could tell if it was the rain or not.
If you were weak, you wouldn't have made it this far.
I am weak... that's why I'm here... Jess felt the demon start wrapping up her arm. She'd been silent on the outside and that must've scared him.
Lúthien glanced over his shoulder seeing how Marcus was taking care of Jess now… he did leave Callista alone with the demon in hopes that he would watch her until the hound got back… Letting out a soft growl the hound got up "You left Callista alone in the condition she is in." He let out before taking off at a fast speed to get back to the cave. Mud was splashing up around his feet, and this damn rain didn't make it any better. The hell hound slipped out once, landing flat face first into a pile of mud. Luth picked himself up and took off again, getting back to the entrance of the cave. He let out a pant… running that fast usually wore him out but the adrenaline rush to make sure Callista was all right was getting to him to make him keep a straight and non-tired look.
---
Jess let out a chuckle that then turned into a menacing laugh. Marcus was getting slightly worried.
"I can feel it..." She murmured and looked up. Her eyes were the red color they were when she was in demon form. The woman teleported out quickly, leaving Marcus alone. He didn't have any of his powers back yet. Sighing, the demon started walking towards the cave again.
---
Luth came into the cave quickly looking around seeing if he could spot the Halfling. He found her all right… running over the hound nudged her with his nose, she had passed out in front of the water. The hound moved over and quickly hopped into the water, using his hind paws to kick some water up onto the Halfling… he knew she was over heated and the best way to cool her off was to use water and this was the only source nearby. Hearing a few coughs the hound quickly turned around and moved back over by the edge that Callista was by…
Callista let out a groan feeling the water on her skin… she opened her eyes and saw a large gray nose in her face. The Halfling let out a series of coughs as she tried to sit herself up… she got help from the hound as he grabbed her arm to help her stay balanced. She had to admit… she had felt better and felt like total shit right now in her mind and physically. Her stomach churned from the holy realms powers… she felt sick… and just wanted to heave up whatever she had in her system.
Luth slowly climbed his way out of the water and sat beside Callista, looking at her she had a very pale complexion compared to earlier. The hound moved around and laid down behind her feeling her lean back against him, she was burning up… her skin was to hot even for a demon. The hound saw the two bloodied areas on her shoulders and the other set… she had forced her wings into her body instead of just concealing them. Maybe that's why she had passed out? The pain from that would have been able to make the Halfling just pass out… even if she tried to withstand the feeling.
---
"Looking for her, too?" Seiga let out from behind Marcus. "Keia sent me. That's the first time I've ever heard of Jess' disappear--"
"I saved her, but..." Marcus interrupted. "She just left."
"Why?"
"She doesn't believe she's worth anyone's time right now." The demon turned around to see Seiga in his demon form. He quickly changed back.
"Oh... I guess I get my depression from her, then," He responded. "How come you're not in demon form?"
"Can't change. Some people found out how to suppress the demon DNA and now... I just can't change. But I think it's just temporary." He began walking along side Seiga to the cave. At least there was a familiar face now.
---
Lúthien had his eyes closed, he didn't know what to do now with Callista besides wait it out… he heard of Air Conditioning… whatever that was. Heh not likely to be found in a cave… much less where ever they were, the hound felt the woman shift again so that she was on her side which made him crack open his eyes. He watched her, she had cupped her hands to get a drink from the small pool… the dog quickly reacted by grabbing the back of her shirt before she fell over into the water. Pulling her back away he saw that the Halfling had passed out again. Circling around a couple times he laid back down beside her this time keeping well awake so he could watch her movements… he didn't want her passing out in the water.
Seiga used his powers to just quickly teleport into the cave. They watched Lúthien pull the demoness.
The teen walked over to Callista and felt that she was hot to the touch. He went into demon form and felt her forehead. His place was always cool. He motioned to Marcus to come over. After the demon came over, Seiga knelt down and put a hand on Lúthien and Callista, teleporting all of them to his house which was more like a pueblo. The floor was quite cool. The teen was now almost 19 and lived by himself. He lived quite a ways from his mother's house, though.
Luth looked over at Seiga after he took them to the place. Well he was someone the hound could trust… at least for now. His attention soon turned to Callista who was still out cold. "If you have some ice… that would help." He let out getting up circling around Callista once before he went back to laying down beside her. The hound let out a deep sigh knowing that the Halfling was now safe for now, he could close his eyes and rest for a bit… until he was needed again.
"Ice? Ha!" Seiga let out. "This place has no electricity and no plumbing. It's in the middle of nowhere..." Seiga looked out the window. They were on the second floor. "I'm the only one that lives here."
"Why?"
"Sienna gave me a nice place, but it was too... well, lots of people. Too many people in fact. So I just wondered around and found this place. I've lived here for about a year now," Seiga explained. "The floor's cool enough. It gets fucking cold at night here I have to warn you, though."
"Anything that could help at least cool her off would be nice… if she over heats to much she will end up dieing." The hell hound explained sighing, he wasn't fully asleep… he couldn't sleep. At least not until he felt Callista would be well. He heard the Halfling mumbled something out in Elvin and lifted his head up breaking down what she said. "Bad dreams…" Luth mumbled out softly.
Callista cracked open her eyes and shot up, she grabbed her head groaning… head rush and a headache. She wasn't in the cave… she was in an unfamiliar area. The Halfling was breathing slightly heavy, she was actually in what seemed like a panic. Which for her was a rare event… she rarely panicked. Her eyes focused on Luth… a good face for her… but it didn't fully calm her down. Callista clutched onto her shoulders and just wanted to leave… but she was already to weak… any attempt to teleport would kill her and any spell she could cast would kill her. "I want to go home…" she mumbled out as she tried to move away from Luth…
"You'd over heat." The hell hound let out sitting up… he saw the look on Callista's face… she was scared. Her eyes rarely showed such a feeling, in fact the hound never saw her display such a look. Luth watched as Callista just moved away… she wanted to hide herself he could tell. "Callista you need to relax and stay calm." He let out, knowing well she probably wouldn't listen to anything he said but it was worth a try.
"I remember her... great, another trouble maker," Seiga muttered. "And I thought I got away from you Seigi..." He walked out of the room. The teen didn't really take a liking to Callista either. First impressions meant quite a bit to the two guys.
"She's not all that bad--"
"Giving Seigi alcohol? Seducing you? Pah! I should've left her in the cave!" The teen let out. "This place already smells of her scent... I'm going to find another place. Just think of this as a favor--" The teen grabbed Marcus' shoulder and teleported him to Jess' house. "And you..." He peered in the room Callista was in. "You're on your own." The teen went back in the other room to grab a few belongings before he left.
Lúthien watched the little fit that Seiga had thrown… he looked back at Callista. She was in no condition to be left alone like this… He growled for a moment and got up walking out after Seiga. The hound wanted to just tackle the kid and shove him down into the mud… growling a bit the hound narrowed his eyes and lifted his head back letting out what sounded like a howl like roar. Cele and Mene soon appeared by his side. He said something in Elvin and the two charged, running up in front of Seiga growling at the teen. Luth let out a low growl as he slowly walked up, his head hung low which gave his fangs a more menacing look.
Mene narrowed his eyes as he moved to a side although he made sure that Seiga wouldn't be able to just walk between him and Cele… he snarled a bit letting out a growl. His clawed paws sinking into the fresh mud. He was conversing with Cele in Elvin, probably about just attacking the teen now but Luth made sure the two didn't attack… at least not yet.
Seiga stopped for a moment. "You protect her?" He let out with a soft chuckle. "Pathetic mutts..." He murmured and teleported out. It didn't matter if he got his possessions or not.
He found himself behind a waterfall in a different cave. His mother had shown him this place a few days after he left. Something glistened in the darkness... a sword that was held up to Seiga's neck.
"Seiga?" A voice let out. Jess walked out of the shadows. She still had Marcus' jacket on, but with clothes underneath this time.
"Jessie? Wha-- I thought you lost your powers just like Marcus," He responded, looking into her red glowing eyes.
"I don't know what I saw in him, but... he's just another guy that claims he loves me." The ninja sheathed the small weapon. "He means nothing to me, now."
---
Mene snarled for a moment and looked at Luth who went walking back to the place. He watched as Cele followed after the other hound and soon he followed after himself.
Luth walked in seeing Callista sitting in a corner of the room… she seemed somewhat calm now. But he didn't know for sure he walked over to her and sat down beside her.
Mene followed in after Cele, the two walking over and sitting down near the demoness. None wanted to talk, it wasn't the time for words because they wouldn't comfort her.
Cele watched as the Halfling grabbed the bracelet on her hand. He watched as she held it up close her face, she was trying to contact who ever she was bound to… she wanted to just be with someone and not them.
"Marcus…" Callista mumbled out grabbing onto the bracelet closing her eyes. She didn't want to be alone in this place… she was scared of this place to tell the truth. It was a bad feeling she had… and it was scaring her. "Marcus… please don't leave me here…" she mumbled out again… feeling the bracelet begin to slightly vibrate. She hoped he didn't want to just leave her in this place… even if she was getting sick she just wanted to be with the demon… not for love or anything. Just for a comfort factor.
---
"He actually meant something to you?" Seiga let out. He laughed again. "That's funny..."
"Well..." Jess murmured. "I think I ought to go home then--"
"Not yet. Marcus is there now so maybe you should go another place. As for me, I'm just reminiscing." Seiga looked around again. "I'll see you when the twins turn 13." He teleported out.
"Bye Seiga," Jess mumbled and took a seat on a nearby rock. 13 years until she'd probably get to see that kid again. "I didn't even name my kids yet."
---
"Damn you, Seiga!" Marcus cursed. Keia was in the bedroom trying to put the kids to sleep again.
"Shut up, Marcus! You're making the babies cry!" The woman called from the other room. The demon felt something in his pocket. It felt wrong to leave Callista alone even though he didn't like her that much.
"Callista... come here..." He let out, trying to summon her up. Seiga's grudges seemed to be one of his flaws. He just left the half dead demoness by herself.
---
Callista felt herself get dragged from the place she was at and she found herself where Marcus was, although her landing wasn't graceful. She let out a few coughs… feeling like her body was dead weight from that teleportation. Groaning lightly the Halfling tried to get herself up onto her feet, not successful… she just settled for getting up onto her knees and leaning back against the nearest wall. Her eyes focused on Marcus for a moment… they weren't filled with lust nor any such emotion, her eyes seemed more focused now rather than lustful. Callista closed her eyes; trying to rest again… at least trying to recover energy would be better than just letting herself slowly die.
"I was afraid that was going to happen..." Marcus let out. He went over and helped Callista onto one of the couches. "I apologize for Seiga's... harsh actions," He added, taking a seat beside her.
---
Jess sighed as she decided to go back. She didn't remember how she was captured the first time, but she knew that Sienna should've gotten some other place with more security. The demoness then teleported to her house. She found the babies crying.
"Thank God you came..." Keia stated as she handed Jess one of the kids... it stopped crying.
"I'm sorry that I left you with them for so long. I wasn't intending to get captured." The ninja held the small bundle close to her chest. So small... and yet you two are supposed to grow up to be strong... The woman thought.
"I hate to admit... I can't tell them apart without looking at their eyes," The demoness let out.
Jess looked from baby to baby. One had blue eyes and the other had green. That seemed to be the only difference.
---
Callista felt the sudden move and opened her eyes for a moment. She heard what Marcus had said about Seiga's actions and what had happened earlier "That was the first time I… was abandoned by a person…" the Halfling let out sighing closing her eyes again "And it made me scared…" she stated not really trying to break into a conversation with the demon, she was simply telling how she felt.
"There's a first time for everything," The demon responded. "I've never felt so human with me missing all my powers." Marcus leaned back on the couch. Even though it was slightly stiff, it felt nice to sit on actual furniture.
---
"Kadaj wanted one to be called Shiro." Jess started rocking the baby she held in her arms. "I think I'll call this one Shiro," She mentioned about the blue eyed baby in her hand.
"Neither you or Kadaj have blue eyes... how does this one--"
"Someone on my mom's side. Some of my cousins have blue eyes and not brown like mine," The woman interrupted as the bundle fell asleep. She set it back down in its sleeping area.
---
"How… how did you loose your powers?" The Halfling questioned looking at Marcus for a moment; she didn't even feel that he had lost them. Or sense that the powers he had were gone until he mentioned it, strange thing for her… but then again knowing her in that weakened state she wouldn't be able to sense much.
"The humans shot me with something. But that's not important. At least everyone's still alive... everyone who's not human," Marcus explained. "So are you doing better now?"
---
Jess looked at her other child. Shiro... means white. But Kuro sounds a bit childish. Shiro Blackstar sure sounded a lot better than Shiro Cresent.
"I'll give them their brothers' last name." She thought for a few more moments. Unlike Kadaj's, their eyes weren't silted and their hair wasn't silver.
---
"A little…" Callista let out holding her hand up in front of her face "I'm still weak but… at least I'm not overheating." She let out sighing. "I just need to sleep and get my energy back… I wasn't expecting holy ropes this time when I went to that realm…" she mumbled out lowering her hand back down sitting it back by her side. "It might take me several days to get back to full strength…" the Halfling stated.
"I don't know if you can stay here for a few days," Marcus replied. "We have to ask Jess--"
"It's not okay," The demoness interrupted. She was standing near the entrance of a room. "You really fooled me, Marcus. I actually cared about you..." She walked in further. "But I do know a place you can stay."
"What do you mean fooled you? I actually loved you..." His voice trailed off on the last few words.
"I'm married." Jess turned away and faced the exit of the room. "You should... find someone a lot better than me. I don't even think I'm worth Kadaj's time." The woman then walked out to the babies' room.
Callista closed her eyes; trying to regain a little more energy "I'm sorry I acted like a dumb ass…" she let out folding her hands over her stomach. "Jealousy… is a hard emotion to figure out." The Halfling mumbled out sighing.
Marcus then thought of Jess being with Kadaj. The green monster had him there. Even though he was a hell of a lot stronger than the silver-haired man, he didn't stand a chance against Jess.
"Yeah, I can agree with you on that one," He responded. "Even I have my... dumb ass moments."
Callista let out a chuckle "I find that hard to believe." She let out slowly sitting herself up leaning herself back against the back of the couch the Halfling cringed when she let her wings grow out. Well at least one set… the second set would be crushed against the back of the couch. The grayish black wings stretched out, being cramped up in the body made them stiff and made them hard to move. She sighed for a moment before folding the wings slightly so they wouldn't be in the way.
Marcus sighed and looked around for a TV. No luck. He then had a pillow and a few blankets tossed at his face.
"One night. That's all I'm allowing you two to stay," Jess stated and started walking back out.
"First you're all trying to get in my pants, but now you're just--"
"Being a bitch, right? Kadaj is so much better than you," She interrupted and walking out completely.
"Sounds like a bad case of PMS…" Callista mumbled out and leaned forward. Reaching back she felt the area where her wings were, making sure that they didn't have a bad joint or anything. "I'll sleep on the floor…" she stated and pulled her hand away wiping the blood she had onto her pants legs. "I don't want to cause anymore trouble…" the Halfling stated.
"You should just rest up right now. I'm going to go talk to her," Marcus stated and walked after Jess. It was more of his hormones wanting to have a chance to do the demoness again. He peered into the room her and Keia were in.
"I'm calling green-eyes 'Sai,'" Jess said, handing the sleeping baby to Keia.
"Well, Sai it is," Keia remarked and looked at Marcus in the doorway. "I think I'll go get a snack." She disappeared into the hallway after putting the baby down.
"What do you want now?" The demoness asked.
"What will it take for you to forgive me?" He replied.
"Give it up," Jess let out and went to walk past him. The demon held out an arm to keep her from going any further. "What?"
"I want to know."
"You can start off by putting your arm down."
---
Callista watched Marcus walk off, yeah she needed rest. She cringed for a moment and let her second set of wings grow out as she stood up and stretched them out hearing a pop come from the bottom set. That made her cringe again, and she turned around to lean against the couch for support… a little to help her out until she regained her full sense of balance. A shower? Would that help her out a bit? It would have to be a cool shower, to help keep her from getting sick again. But then again… Jess probably wouldn't like the idea of the Halfling taking a shower in her house… after all she did have a bit of a hatred towards her… or so it seemed in the demoness' mind.
---
"So how can I?" The demon repeated.
"I forced you do to something you didn't want to... why are you so--"
"I've never been this much in love," He stated and held the demoness in his arms. "I just wish... you weren't married..."
"That's a bit too bad. Kadaj means a lot to me... a lot more to me than anyone I know..." Jess turned her head away, making Marcus kiss her cheek instead of her lips.
"Please, forgive me?" Marcus asked and smiled.
"As long as you get off," Jess responded, but the demon still held onto her.
---
Callista pulled herself back up into a straight position. Well now she didn't really care, she wanted to take a cool shower to help herself out. Moving away from the couch she felt best to just look for one, rather than asking Jess herself since the demoness was busy with Marcus. The Halfling looked around the den area before she just moved to the area that Marcus went, leaning against the wall she heard the end of the conversation between him and Jess… feeling a bit Jealous and a bit angered by how the woman was acting towards Marcus. Then again she didn't catch the whole conversation… but why should it matter? "I'm not normally the type to spy… but this seems like something I can't miss out on." The thought slinked its way into Callista's mind as a small smirk formed on her lips.
"But you wanted to be here earlier," Marcus commented and kept his arms around her.
"Please get off..." The demoness pleaded. She felt his lips going close to her neck. He then let himself kiss the side of her neck with a few nibbles. "Marcus..." She whispered as he brought himself to kiss her lips. Marcus was the one 'in charge' now, sliding his tongue into Jess' mouth and massaging hers. His hand wandered to her backside while the other was on her butt area. The kiss lasted for awhile until they had to breathe. "I hate you..." She added as he brought her in for another kiss.
Callista narrowed her eyes and slowly walked over to the door, grabbing Marcus' hair she yanked him back "Forcing yourself onto a woman isn't something anyone should do." She let out with a light growl her eyes narrowed. "And here I thought you wasn't the type to do something like that…" the Halfling muttered out with a hiss.
Marcus felt his hair being yanked back. He couldn't do anything due to him not having his demonic powers at all.
Jess let out a slight chuckle. She was a bit happy that Callista interrupted them.
"She was getting comfortable with it!" He responded.
"What are you doing... spying?" The demoness let out.
"I was looking for a shower and happened to over hear the conversation." Callista let out letting go of Marcus' hair. "I wanted to take a cool shower to wash off the blood… from my wings and to help recover some of my strength." She explained looking at Marcus with a cold glare for a moment before she turned around "I'll be heading back to the den now… suddenly I lost my urge to shower." She mumbled out walking back down to the den.
Marcus rubbed the back of his head as Callista talked. When she left, Jess kissed his cheek and felt her being in the demon's arms again.
"One more?" He asked.
"Not in front of the kids," Jess stated and looked at the sleeping children.
"We better make it one to remember, then..." He picked up the woman and started heading towards her bedroom.
Callista rolled her eyes… she heard that little 'tid bit' of information as she reached the den. She couldn't help it if she had a excellent sense of hearing. Running her claws on the back of the couch she slowly walked around and sunk them in at the corner, jealousy… yeah it was a stupid feeling. And she wished she didn't have to feel it when she saw Marcus with Jess… she mentioned she was married. But that would be a little to wrong… she glanced back over her shoulder and narrowed her eyes before sinking her claws into the couch deeper. Then again it would be kind of fair wouldn't it? She let out a soft chuckle and smirked… the idea was just too good. How long Jess would be in this realm wasn't a matter… revenge seemed to be a sweet thing and well maybe her little hubby would like a bit of attention.
---
"I don't think we should go that far..." Jess let out as Marcus was kissing the side of her neck. "You should be resting to gain your powers back..."
"We're here, now so..." The demon let his hand find its way up the woman's shirt and began tickling her slightly by accident.
"What about Callista? She's... going to get upset and light the house on fire..." She let out between a kiss.
"I almost forgot about her," Marcus admitted and sat up. He didn't want the Halfling to get jealous again. Something bad would probably happen.
---
Callista sat down on the couch… there was a shower back at the mansion. She could shower there… and possibly get Kadaj in bed… but then again that wouldn't be fair now would it? Fair is fair is fair… she thought and stood back up, she had enough energy to teleport to the mansion. Closing her eyes she concentrated on the shower and found herself in the bathroom of Jess' mansion. "Perfect…" she mumbled out and walked over to the shower opening the door as she made her wings disappear and slipped out of her cloths stepping in she turned on the water to a slightly cold temperature with just a little warm water to it to make it just right. Leaning back she let the water run down her body, turning around to soak off the blood she had on her shoulders and the middle of her back. She ran her hands through her hair, taking out the hair tie and letting it fall down her back, without the tie her hair went down to the middle of her back and was a bit… wild so to say. She pulled it over her shoulder and ran her hands through it. The Halfling let out a sigh and closed her eyes for a moment, just letting the water run over her body. Surely Kadaj wouldn't mind this… after all she was just her earlier.
Seigi sniffed the air. Kadaj had gone out to get something for both of them to eat. The teen began sniffing again... the smell came from the upstairs shower.
"Boobs..." He let out with a chuckle. "It's... a demoness..." The teen began going up the steps and to the bathroom with running water.
---
Jess let out a slight gasp. She didn't feel Callista's presence in the house anymore...
"She's gone." The ninja pulled away from Marcus. "She's not in this realm, either..." Jess pulled her shirt down and went out of the room, leaving Marcus by himself. "Keia!" The woman went into the kitchen. "Did Callista leave?"
"I don't know," Keia replied.
"Shit..." Jess muttered as she turned to Marcus. "Take care of the kids; I'm going to find her." The demoness teleported out, hoping she wouldn't run into Kadaj.
---
Callista was rinsing herself off, the water felt good and it felt nice on her body. It had been awhile since she actually had a nice good shower… well at least one that wasn't a blood shower. She flipped her hair back over onto her back making a slight slapping sound as she did so, the water smacking against her back made the skin tingle a bit where the hair hit. She hated wet hair when it struck the skin… grabbing some shampoo the demoness got some and flipped her hair over in front of her face scudding it up as she cleaned it. She rinsed it off and grabbed the conditioner doing the same thing. Her hair had a nice soft hair now; it was all stiff from the blood that usually got in her hair. "I wonder if Marcus will call me back…" she muttered "Heh he's to busy with his little sex toy to care about me again." The Halfling let out laughing.
Seigi peered in the bathroom. He could see Callista's figure through the glass he smirked and started taking off his clothes. He knew he'd probably end up getting clawed or something.
---
Marcus sighed again as he took out the bracelet. Should he call her and let Jess' search go in vain? Or just leave it? The demon put the bracelet back.
"I wonder when Rei's coming by again..." Keia let out and bit into her sandwich. She was sitting on the couch, staring at the ceiling.
"Who knows? He's a pretty random guy," The demon commented. He walked back to Jess' room. Damn her... leaving me in this mood... He thought to himself, taking off his shirt and tossing it off to the side.
---
Jess got to her house. She could hear the shower running. She could've just asked to take a shower at my place in the time realm... The demoness started up the stairs.
---
Callista was washing herself off; really she wasn't paying much attention to anything around herself much less using her senses to pay attention to much. She reached back and felt the area where her wings came out… there was an open wound there from where she forced the wings into her body. The Halfling sighed and raised her hand back up in front of her face, seeing the blood wash off with the water. Turning off the cold water and leaving it on hot she turned her back around and let the warm water run over the wounds, hot water helped to stop the bleeding of most things… scalding hot should help to make them stop quicker. She was used to this kind of heat actually, so really it didn't burn much. It just made the wounds hurt like hell… but then again it didn't hurt as bad as she'd expected.
Seigi quietly went in the shower. The wings surprised him a bit, but nothing he couldn't get over.
"Hello, beautiful..." He let out. The headache was gone for the most part and so was his drunkenness.
Callista jerked hearing the voice, she let out a soft hiss for a moment knowing well turning around might put her breasts in the teens face "Might I ask what do you want?" she questioned narrowing her eyes for a moment, overall the Halfling didn't like Seigi… at least not after that little incident in the bedroom. It was overly hard to not turn around to smack the teen, but maybe he would notice the blood running down from the wings… it could distract him long enough for her to get out. She had the energy now to teleport and get back to the realm with Marcus... to get away from this... horny teen so to speak.
"Isn't it obvious?" He asked with a smirk on his face. "You're just too sexy to be over looked. We're both naked so why don't we go another step?" Seigi questioned.
---
Jess could hear two voices coming from the bathroom. Seigi... She thought to herself. No wonder Seiga doesn't like him. The woman sighed. She really wanted to see Kadaj, but she knew it would make it harder for her to return to the time realm.
---
Callista rolled her eyes and pushed her hands against the glass, well distracting wasn't going to work. "I'm not in the mood for sex… and I'm not in the mood to have someone with me in the shower." She let out with a growl. Oh how she wished she could just turn back to her full form… but that would… "Wait… I do have enough energy to transform…" the thought washed through her head as she narrowed her eyes for a moment "But that would destroy the shower and I really shouldn't… I would only be at ½ my power and he could possibly just fend me off…" another thought and that made Callista sigh quietly "Half strength and weak is better than nothing… I am not in the mood." After her little mind battle the demoness let her eyes go red as her body got covered in fur, her horns growing out larger and her wings disappearing into her body, the long wolf like tail curled around behind her getting soaked by the shower. The fangs of her mouth glittering softly in the light of the room due to the water dripping off them, the demoness turned around to face Seigi her nose in his face as she let out a soft growl, she hoped the intimidation factor would at least make him back off.
"Ugh... you're all... ugly now..." Seigi let out and got out of the shower. He wrapped the towel around his waist. The teen then started for the door and opened it. "Mother?" He murmured and walked all the way out.
"Hi," She greeted.
"Where the hell did you go? Kadaj and I... we've been missing you..." He hugged the woman and got her clothes wet.
I can't say the same... Jess thought.
"You smell... like... Marcus..." The teen murmured and back off. "You couldn't have been cheating on Kadaj, have you?"
"I..." The woman let out. "I have to go. Just make sure Callista stays away from Kadaj." Jess then teleported back.
"Well, good job." Seigi was talking to himself. "At least Marcus can bring people back."
---
Marcus let out a gasp and Jess reappeared on top of him with his midsection between her legs.
"She's at my mansion," Jess let out and got off and lay beside the demon. She snuggled against the demon's body. He was taller than Kadaj, but he came too late.
"I could've called her back."
"She's in the shower." Jess moved her hand to the demon's chest and started stroking it. "Eighteen more years here before I go back..." The demoness whispered as she kissed Marcus.
---
Callista snorted and grunted as she grabbed the shower knob and turned the water off… she stepped out of the shower, the weight of wet fur just making her feel stupid for turning into her demonic form. Water sloshed onto the floor from her paws as she grabbed a towel and ran it over her head making her fur poof up like a wet dogs. She shook off for a moment, the Halfling could just dry off the stuff she got water on… going down onto all fours she shook off splashing a bit of water everywhere in the room before she got to her feet and toweled off the rest. Holding out her hand she dried off the room absorbing the water for energy… now why didn't she think of that before? "Because I'm to stupid…" she mumbled out as she scratched her head, her ears twitching because water got into them. Her fur was still a little wet but it could dry, well it will dry if she just walked around. Walking out of the room she took a glance to where Seigi had walked before moving off on her own, her tail kind of dragging on the floor because it was still a little wet but she lifted it up so it wouldn't soak the floor and cause someone to slip and fall on their ass.
Seigi took a deep breath. He went and followed Callista. "So what are you going to do, now, huh?" The teen asked. He was bored due to no one else in the house.
---
Marcus shifted his body on top of Jess'. He slowly began to take off her shirt to even out the score since he didn't have his on. The demon soon got it off, revealing a black bra. The woman was already naked last time they did this.
The demoness had one of her hands caressing his inner thigh almost the way he did in the cave. He never let anyone really touch there and blush slightly. Jess was the only one who could make him blush. Her hand made its way to unzipping Marcus' pants and into them. She licked his lower lips once, teasingly to get him more aroused and finally went in for one passionate kiss.
After a few moments Marcus began nibbling at the area Jess' nipples would be from behind the bra. He was enjoying the teasing going on too much to just let it all out like last time.
---
Callista rolled her eyes, ok so he was bugging her… no big deal. She looked at him for a moment, wondering how he could stand her 'ugliness', the Halfling went back to watching where she was going "I might just stay here… seeing as I'm not wanted with your Marcus and his little Sex toy." She let out crossing her arms up in front of herself. "Who happens to be your mother…" the Halfling stated and laughed for a moment, guessing the teen probably already knew about this but then again he might not have known. Oh well whether he did or didn't she didn't care…
"I'd have to say... Marcus is the sex toy. He's been wanting in her pants for some time now..." Seigi let out, still following Callista. "How can you stand to have a form like that?"
"You're a half demon to right?" She questioned "I'd figured you'd have a form like… well somewhat like this to." The Halfling let out closing her eyes for a moment "To tell the truth I'm not even at full strength right now… heh but you could probably already sense that." Callista let out chuckling more, realizing she just told the teen something stupid. "I guess I can stand it because I'm used to it… even with all the drool." She let out licking the fangs on the outside of her mouth in a full jaw lick, to remove some of that excess drool from them.
"I do, but it's not..." Seigi watched her lick the drool off. "That makes me very sad in pants..." He murmured.
Callista snorted and stopped grabbing Seigi's shoulder shoving him into the wall "Listen if you don't like the way I look in this form then just fuck off. I'm not just around for sex…" she let out with a growl letting go of the teen walking off.
"Geez, lady. Take a joke. Everyone around here seems to either leave, want me gone, or has a stick up their ass," Seigi pushing Callista's arm off. "I guess my father was right... I'm not worth his time... and no one else's..." He murmured before walking off. "And I can't stay serious worth shit."
Callista sighed and stopped turning around she shook her head, going down on all fours the demoness caught up to Seigi "Listen… my demon form isn't all perky and everything. Ok I didn't mean to slam you in the wall back there… it was a reaction from my devil blood." She stated, on all fours she came up to about Seigi's hip… making her less intimidating "I have to admit I'd like the company… since Marcus is busy with Jessica." She let out with a hiss and a snarl. Feeling her jealousy raise up she took a deep breath and let it out to try and calm down.
"It's Jessie," The teen corrected. "As far as I know, it's just Jessie. No -ica with that." Seigi turned around. "I got chewed off by my father last night so I'm not in the greatest mood ever. Plus, I've been secluding myself from everyone. I don't know, maybe some time alone instead of trying to screw everyone would do me some good." He started walking off again.
Callista stayed beside Seigi for a bit before she stopped and sighed "All right… well I'm not leaving her anytime soon. Unless Marcus summons me." She stated moving forward and heading towards the guest room that Marcus had stayed in "I'll be in here if you need me." The Halfling stated picking herself up onto her legs walking into the room shifting back to her human form. "And let's hope Jessie's little hubby comes home soon." The demoness thought as she walked over to the bed and sat on it.
Seigi walked into his room and locked the door. He lay on the bed and gazed at the ceiling. Why doesn't she just go with Marcus rather than Kadaj?... Seiga doesn't like Kadaj. Maybe... I should kill him. Yeah. Show my brother that I can do something for him-- but Mother... She'd never forgive me for killing him. He thought to himself. The teen closed his eyes, not feeling tired at all... only bored. Maybe I can call Alice. I need a nurse. The teen reached over and grabbed the wireless phone by his bed. He did get the other girl's phone number, too... Party... Seigi smirked as he dialed up a few people.
---
Callista flomped back on the bed with her arms behind her head, she crossed her feet… now SHE was bored. "Lucifer?" the name sprung up into her head "Nah… probably busy with his little succubus'…" she muttered out chuckling "A succubus until Kadaj gets here?" the Halfling thought and smirked for a moment waving her hand as the door shut. The click of it locking was heard and Callista chuckled snapping her fingers making a couple of her little 'slaves' appear around the bed. "Hello boys…" she let out grinning.
---
Seigi got up and started towards the living room, which lead to the entrance. "Kadaj... where the hell are you? You take a shit load of time getting food..." The teen murmured.
---
It had been a couple hours since Jess had gotten Marcus in bed. She was just waking up to the sun. The woman stretched and yawned while lying down.
"Good morning..." The demon greeted, stroking her back.
"Ohayo..." She answered and didn't want to kiss him due to fear of him having morning breath. "What are you going to do today?" Jess asked.
"Probably stick around with you and Keia for awhile. And maybe call Callista back up so she doesn't cause any problems for the people in the other realm." Marcus slipped his hand between the woman's legs. "We have time for one more..."
"Uno mas," Jess teased and chuckled. She let her hand wander around again.
---
Callista was being pampered by her little slaves, she heard the foot steps of someone walking by the door and sat up. Holding her hand to a side to make the male demons stop what they were doing. Getting up she slipped off the foot of the bed and stretched her arms out. Walking over she unlocked the door "Stay here until I call you." She let out and walked out catching a glimpse of Seigi walking down before he went out of sight, the demoness shrugged and waved for her little slaves to follow her. She made a black dress appear with a built in busier which shoved her breasts up, it also had a built in corset which helped keep up the bust and showed a lot of cleavage. She held out her hand to stop the male half naked demons before they could start to smother her with attention again. "Not yet…" she let out softly.
Seigi took a seat on a couch in the living room. He stared at the ceiling again. Surely Seiga's not having such a good time as me. He thought and yawned.
---
"Breakfast!" Keia exclaimed, walking into the room Jess and Marcus were in. She gasped and turned around quickly at the sight of the demoness on top of Marcus. "Err-- whenever you're ready," She stammered and went out briskly.
"I guess we... got a bit too carried away..." Jess let out with a chuckle.
"She said whenever you're ready."
---
Callista walked down and located where Seigi was, leaning over the back of the couch she had her arms crossed under her breasts as she looked at him "Expecting Company?" she questioned chuckling a bit, glancing back to the male demons who bowed down and waited back. She looked at the door for a moment, keeping her attention on it for a few moments before her attention turned to Seigi once again, she didn't have her hair tied back so it was kind of draping over her shoulders for the time being.
"Yeah," Seigi replied. He heard the doorbell ring. "They're here." The teen smirked as he ran over and opened the door to a group of teens and young college students. "Kadaj isn't here so why not?" He followed a group of 3 girls to the couch.
---
Marcus chuckled as he rolled on top of the ninja. Whenever you're ready... Rang through his head. The demon winced when he felt Jess bite into his neck, drawing a small amount of blood and licking it off.
"I'm sorry!" Jess apologized. She drew back, quickly. The demoness was slightly embarrassed due to letting her demonic part take over for a second.
"It's okay..." The demon let out. "I... kind of liked it..." He kissed her, tasting some of his blood in her mouth.
---
Callista chuckled for a moment "I was hoping he would come back soon." She let out moving away from the couch walking back over to the male demons she had summoned up "You guys can stay down here." She let out in a light whisper "Have some fun…" the Halfling let out with a smirk before she went back up the stairs running her hand up the rail. Glancing over her shoulder she watched as her little slaves smirked and nodded up to her before they went on their own. "Now for my fun…" she mumbled out going back up to the room she was staying in, she'd come back down when she sensed Kadaj.
"Hey do you three want to have a foursome with me?" Seigi questioned. The girls looked at him strangely.
"I'm in," One of them said as the others joined in. He wondered if any of them were interested in twins. The teen was having the time of his life... probably with more minors, too.
---
Jess let out a soft moan as Marcus did the same thing she did to him. The demoness felt the blood drip down and onto the sheets. She felt the wound heal with a slight red mark that would disappear after a few more minutes.
The demon then felt Jess roll on top of him. She traced her hands down his sides slowly before she kissed the side of his neck... going down his chest... to his abs... Then to his groin. Marcus cringed when he felt her reach there. He didn't know what to do from here since Angelina wasn't into this kind of thing.
---
Callista held up her hand and a small crystal formed up as she watched the action going on. Her boys deserved a little break from her once in awhile, human girls would be perfect for her little slaves. The demoness chuckled for a moment as she watched more "Hmm… might want to hide those horns and the hooves… the tail could be part of a costume." She let out softly and her eyes glowed a bit as she allowed for the hooves to look like normal human feet and the horns just disappeared. The Halfling let out a growl for a moment and looked at her bracelet, nothing going on… at least nothing that would endanger Marcus. "He can fuck his little woman all he wants…" she mumbled out hissing softly her attention returning to the crystal ball.
---
Seigi looked around to see the men in g-strings running around. "Whoa... that's not something you see everyday..." He murmured as the girls were pleasuring him.
---
The demoness brought herself back up to eye level with Marcus. She didn't stick any part of his member in her mouth or licked it due to the fact she thought it was a bit awkward. Jess felt Marcus placed himself between her legs. He was a lot more... energetic and had more endurance, but she loved Kadaj more. It seemed that the demon was just temporary relief. He entered the woman and began going at a noticeably faster rate than Kadaj started out in. Maybe it was because they were both demons that they liked it a bit rough.
Jess was on the bottom, which seemed slightly... strange for her. She felt him bite into her neck again as well as nibbling it afterwards while he kept his pace. Marcus let go of her neck and went at a faster rate.
"Marcus..." Jess whispered and muffled herself in his chest. The woman never felt so much pleasure. Although the demon was great in bed, her thoughts kept returning to Kadaj.
---
Callista chuckled as she watched her demonic slaves locate themselves a girl "Seems things will be getting hot in that room…" she let out her tail curling around behind her. She noticed how Seigi didn't call over any guy friends, no fun for her then… she could always summon up a demon "To much of a hassle." Maybe her husband then? "Maybe… we haven't been together for awhile." She let out licking her lips as the Halfling threw the Crystal ball up in the air making it disappear, she concentrated for a moment and a large flicker of flames came up in front of the bed. The demoness felt the man straddle her hips and pull her close giving her passionate kiss on the lips.
"I've missed you my dear…" Lucifer let out running his hands down the Halfling's sides as he kissed her again running a hand down to the bottom of her dress to the bottom of the skirt. "First time you've worn a dress…" he let out grabbing the skirts bottom. "It really turns me on."
Callista chuckled as she ran her hands over her husbands chest, she traced over his abs with her claws as she kissed down the side of his neck "I got bored… I needed a little sex relief." She whispered out into his ear as she felt his hand trace up her leg to her inner thigh. "And I needed something a little better than those Succubus." The Halfling let out as she felt Lucifer return her attention by kissing down her neck.
"Hehe the Succubus get boring after awhile." Lucifer let out between his kisses on the demoness' neck he reached over grabbing her chin pulling the demoness into another kiss allowing their tongues to intertwine for a couple moments so they could massage each other. Drawing back the man stroked Callista's thigh making her chuckle "Never knew you was ticklish their my dear." He let out grinning.
---
Some of the guys were getting jealous of Seigi and one of them tapped his shoulder.
"Hey, could you teach me a few moves?" The guy asked. Seigi got up, nodding. The teen then slugged the half demon in the face. "You fucker!" Seigi shook it off. He simply smirked and caught the next punches thrown at him. The half demon proceeded to squeeze the boy's fists.
"People have always told me to never do any senseless fighting." Seigi let go of the boy's hands. "It's about time someone tells you." He watched the teen walk off with a scowl.
"I'd want a boyfriend who can defend for me... the name's Miranda," One of the girls said.
"I saw him first!"
"It's clear that he's interested in me--"
"Want to go to my room and have a foursome, naked?" The teen whispered to them. They nodded and followed him to his bedroom upstairs.
---
Marcus let out a moan of pleasure as he began reaching his climax. The demoness wanted more, but she knew that she shouldn't push it with the demon. The woman then shrugged it off.
"Faster..." She commanded in a whisper as he sped up. He wanted to keep the demoness as 'comfortable' as he could. The ninja then clawed at his side. She wanted to stop so badly, but it felt way too good. She began to shift into her demon form slowly as did Marcus. The demon was too good at this. She had a few doubts about being with Kadaj, now. But Marcus was really just temporary relief of having no sex for a year.
---
Lucifer glanced over his should hearing the foot steps "Company?" He questioned returning his attention to the Halfling.
"Probably just Seigi… he threw a party." Callista let out slowly moving her husbands face back so they were facing. "We can ignore them." She let out running a hand down his now bare chest.
"Hehe you are such a naughty girl…" The devil let out as he kissed his wife again on the lips, he grabbed her hips pulling the Halfling up on his lap. Lucifer was taking a bit by surprise when the demoness shoved him down onto his back, pinning his shoulders down to the bed. "A very naughty girl." He let out grinning as Callista fiddled with his chest some.
"Going a few days without a good screw… really makes one do strange things." Callista let out licking her lips with a slight smirk on her face. She grabbed the base of his pants, knowing that would so turn him on… it always did. The Halfling then proceeded to moving her hand down over his groin area and grabbed down feeling the devil capture her lips with his again as she kneaded the area to make him a little tight in his pants.
Lucifer massaged Callista's tongue when she allowed it to start roaming his mouth, she was always the tease in bed and that made him do a mental chuckle. He grabbed the straps to the top of her dress and slipped them off her shoulders and down to just enough to where the middle of her dress was off so he could return the favor she was doing. Breaking away from the kiss the man went to kissing the side of Callista's neck, nibbling slightly as his hands proceeded to play with her breasts making the Halfling let out a soft moan.
---
Kadaj opened the door to some racket. He gasped when he saw the party going on.
"Everyone get out of my house before I call the police for trespassing!" He yelled. Few of them stared at him. The silver-haired man reached in the closet, grabbed Souba then headed to the stereo. After turning it off, he unsheathed the sword. "I said get out!" Now most of the teens went for the door. "Seigi..." Kadaj murmured, realizing he didn't see him in the crowd.
---
"I think... I might go check on Kadaj. I just feel really guilty now," Jess stated as she pulled on her shirt. The woman got up and headed towards the door. Marcus was apparently worn out, needing a few more hours of sleep. "I'll be back, don't worry." She teleported out.
---
Callista tilted her head back for a moment feeling her husband nibbling at her neck she soon grabbed his chin and pulled his face over kissing him on the lips once again. She knew he got into some rough foreplay and well… rough was always nice.
The devil soon pulled back from the kiss and glanced back over his shoulders "What happened to the music?" he questioned.
"Maybe the party got a little wild and they blew out the stereo." Callista let out chuckling with a grin.
"But I heard yelling…"
"Kadaj must be home then." The Halfling let out "You might have to leave before he finds us…" she let out grinning "I don't think he'd want to see us going at it."
Lucifer let out a chuckle returning his attention back to the woman. He kissed her on the lips wrapping his arms around her body pulling the Halfling close to him "Let him catch us… Might do him some good." The devil let out grinning as he kissed down the front of Callista's neck.
---
Kadaj kept Souba out due to Callista's slaves still being here. He sighed and walked towards the stairs. Something was lurking in the shadows. The silver-haired man quickly held Souba up to the 'thing's' neck.
"I told everyone to get out," He let out, coldly. The figure disappeared. It seemed almost feminine. The silver-haired man sighed and heard the tub water running. "Seigi." Kadaj began walking up the stairs
---
Callista let out a growl and glared towards the door for a moment. Snarling a bit her eyes let off a red glow; she got her neck bit by her husband bringing her back into the normal reality.
"No going into your full form on me…" The man let out looking at Callista who closed her eyes and sighed "What?"
"You didn't sense that did you?" She questioned.
"I felt something come and disappear if that's what you mean."
Callista just snorted and pushed herself off Lucifer's lap moving back on the bed she laid back with her arms behind her head. "Suddenly I'm not in the mood." She let out and heard her husband scoff.
"Awwwwww a random demon popping in and out of the place and suddenly your not hot in the pants. That's unusual, especially for you." Lucifer let out grinning as he crawled over so he was hovering over the Halfling looking into her eyes.
Callista held up the bracelet in her husbands face "Usually when we screw I'm not bound by a code." She let out seeing how Lucifer sighed.
"You do realize I could just get rid of that thing? So what if that demon saved your life, he sure doesn't seem like he wants anything."
"You've been watching us…" Callista hissed out for a moment.
"I've only seen the time when you was trying to get him in the shower. That's all." Lucifer explained "He sure doesn't seem like he likes women."
Callista rubbing her forehead sighing again "Stay out of my affairs. You tell me to stay out of yours so I expect you to do the same thing." She let out looking up at the man as he kissed her on the lips pinning her arms down onto the bed with his.
"You should know you can't leave me in a horny mood." He let out chuckling with a grin.
---
"Seigi! Get out of there!" Kadaj yelled. He knocked on the door. "You're in deep trouble!" The silver-haired man added.
"Hold on!" The teen responded. After a few minutes, a small crowd of girls went out of the bathroom.
"This is your mother's and my bathroom!" He yelled. The teen walked out with a towel around his waist.
"So?"
"You just can't go a day without screwing up, can you?" Kadaj questioned, but it was more of a statement. "I'm not asking, but... get out of this house and stay out. You're not--"
"You sound just like him..." Seigi let out.
"What?--"
"Sephiroth. That's who," Seigi walked passed Kadaj to go to his room. He had his clothes in hand and was going to leave this place. It seemed everywhere he went; he wasn't 'good enough' for anyone's time.
---
Callista narrowed her eyes and disappeared making Lucifer fall flat on his face on the bed. Reappearing behind Kadaj she heard the last bit of the small argument the two had. She heard Seph's name get mentioned in the end and narrowed her eyes for a moment, knowing that Kadaj probably didn't even realize she was there yet. "Seigi did mention something about him and Sephiroth getting into a fight…" she thought and looked in the direction the teen was going. The demoness then realized that her dress straps were still down and she pulled up the straps making sure that she just had the extra cleavage revealed and nothing more. But right now she didn't feel like sex… she wanted to know what Kadaj had said before she came in. Crossing her arms the demoness had a scowl on her face "What happened between you and Seigi?" she questioned.
"Nothing," Kadaj responded. "He's just being irresponsible, that's all," He added and took a seat on a nearby chair. "It's a wonder Seph didn't kill him." The silver-haired man then sheathed Souba.
"So your just going to treat him like trash… just the way his father did?" Callista questioned growling, she never really showed emotions such as anger because it took away from her 'sexual appeal' or so she thought. But right now she could care less "I swear you mortals are so stupid at times… it's a wonder that Lucifer and God haven't agreed to wipe out all your pitiful asses yet." The Halfling let out she hissed at the end of the statement.
"Seigi should learn to be more responsible. I can't go easy on him or else he'll think he can get away with anything. And letting him off easy wouldn't be the right thing to do," Kadaj responded to the first part of her comment. "Why do you just ask them to wipe us out then? Break your mother's heart by killing her loved one."
"Hmph…" Callista let out with a snarl "I hope Lucifer gets a hold of your sorry ass…" she let out folding her wings in front of her disappearing. "He'll screw your damn brains out… I made him pretty horny…" her voice came out with a chuckle before her voice completely disappeared.
---
Amelia was in a corner of Seigi's room, amazing how she could locate the boy without much trouble. He had a high amount of emotions going on his body and that made him easy to find. She smirked, the thoughts of what he was currently angered about gave way to a couple things she might be able to get from the teen. "If he truly hates Sephiroth so much… he might agree to bringing the man to me." She thought grinning at the thought of having Sephiroth in her grasp; the dragoness' thoughts flowed to seeing Jen's reaction. "Seeing her face… it would be a nice touch before I killed him for the teen." The thought flowed through her mind as she crossed her arms.
"What do you want?" Seigi asked, zipping up his pants. "Go ahead and kill me. I don't care anymore." The teen tossed a few more items in his bag.
---
"What?" Kadaj let out. He looked around and unsheathed Souba again. Lucifer? Inside this place? No way... She's bluffing... The mortal thought to himself.
---
Amelia glanced over to Seigi "Actually I'm not here to kill you… I've come to ask you if you'd like to help me. Seeing how much you hate your father right now…" she let out shoving off the wall walking over to the teen "Just bring him to me and I'll get rid of him… and you could stay with the DSDA. After all I don't think you really have any place to go." she let out sitting her hands on the bed as she leaned over looking at Seigi.
---
Lucifer growled and flipped himself off the bed "Damn her… she always does this to me…" he mumbled out as he walked to the door and opened it walking out. Surely there had to be someone around for him to 'relieve' himself of this little horn bug his wife had just gave him.
---
"I might be pissed off at him now, but he's still my father. It wouldn't be right to betray him," Seigi responded, zipping up the bag. "Even if I don't have anywhere to go from here... I can just wander around, can't I? Unless you do me a favor now and kill me."
Amelia let out a chuckle "Betrayal is what he did to you. He was your father and look what he did to you, he threw you out like some second piece of trash. HE compared you to his first son who died!" she let out looking at the teen "Would a father who truly loved his children do that? You have to wonder, does he truly love you? No father is that careless with his children." The dragoness stated and held out her hand forming long claws on it "But… if you truly don't wish to betray him I could do with your favor." She stated.
---
Lucifer glanced down the hall; he smirked and walked down in the direction. The devil has sensed someone's energy this way… "Wonderful…" he let out crossing his arms in front of his chest as he walked. Right now he didn't care if he was shirtless… Callista had her fun and left so he was a horny ass to say the least.
---
Seigi thought for a moment. She did have a point there. His father did throw him out like he was nothing. Sephiroth... you said you cared about me... your son. But... you're still my father--
"What do I have to do?" Seigi questioned.
"Just bring him to me at the DSDA's headquarters… I'll do the rest from there." Amelia stated making her claws disappear, she held out her hand making a large piece of paper form "This will tell you where our headquarters is located and give your more information about where to take Sephiroth once you get him there." She stated rolling up the paper holding it out to the teen for him to take "There's no turning back if you do this." The dragoness stated looking at Seigi.
---
Lucifer caught a glimpse of Kadaj and smirked, the man of the household he thought. Walking down the hall he put his hands in his pockets, seeing that the man had his sword out the devil grinned. Approaching Kadaj he leaned against the wall looking at the silver haired man "Expecting a monster to show up and attack?" he questioned chuckling looking over Kadaj for a moment before his eyes set onto those mako eyes of Kadaj's.
---
Seigi took the paper. He knew it was wrong to betray his father, but who cared if he didn't love him? All his life he wanted to see his parents, and here they were. One was always gone and the other didn't care about him.
---
Kadaj held up Souba. He was in more of a defensive position. "What are you doing here?" He questioned.
Lucifer just smirked, grabbing a hold of Souba he made the tip of the blades glow red "Well seeing as my wife left me with a rather large horn bug I was looking for a replacement." He let out grinning "And I just so happened to stumble into you." The devil let out smirking as he leaned forward for a moment to look at Kadaj's eyes. Somehow he found them to be rather… amusing so to say.
---
"Oh and if Jen happens to get in your way…" The Dragoness let out pulling out a small pistol "Shoot her with one of these. It won't kill her it will just stun her and knock her out for a few hours. The bullets only work on dragons and demons so you won't be able to use them on Sephiroth." She explained.
---
Kadaj's eyes narrowed. He soon realized Souba was too hot to hold onto any longer and dropped it.
"Why don't you get your little slaves to help you with that?" The silver-haired man questioned.
---
"Beat me up," Seigi ordered. "I think I might know a way to get Jen out of the way quickly to get to Sephiroth." He was thinking of looking beat up to get to knocking out Jen quickly.
Amelia looked at Seigi for a moment and put the gun in its holster that was at her side "Are you sure you'd want me to beat the shit out of you?" she questioned walking over cracking her knuckles "It might make it difficult for you to get Seph." She stated.
---
"Succubus really get boring after awhile, when I finally thought I had the chance to get with my wife she decides to go and run off on me. Leaving me with a rather irritating horn bug that no succubus could relieve me of..." Lucifer let out with a grin as he dropped the sword down "And besides, I'm looking for something a little different." He let out smirking.
"Look somewhere else," Jess let out, appearing in front of Kadaj.
"Jess?" The silver-haired man murmured. He was surprised she'd came. Was she the shadow that he pointed Souba at?
"Stay away from my husband," The ninja growled. She probably wasn't strong enough to beat Lucifer, but at least she'd be able to fight him off for a bit.
---
"I'm sure. Seph's just human, he'll be easy to take care of," Seigi responded. He prepared himself for a punch or hit of some sort. By the time he got to Jen's house, most of the wounds would be healed. "And could you teleport me there?"
Amelia nodded and finished cracking her knuckles, really she didn't want to beat the shit out of the teen but apparently he wasn't giving her much of a choice. Narrowing her eyes for a moment she slammed her fist into the teens face, and did a slight back flip so that her foot would make contact with his chin. Knowing she probably sent his head spinning with the punch, the kick probably knocked him shitless. The dragoness held off on another attack, not really knowing if he wanted her to beat him up more or take him to Jen's place now.
---
Lucifer chuckled looking at Jess grabbing her chin he looked at her face "So you're the little demoness who's been jumping from realm to realm." He let out smirking for a moment as he looked at Jess for a moment "You know… maybe you'll do better than silver head there." The devil let out grinning.
---
Seigi held up a hand. "Yeah, that's good enough," He held his long sleeve up to his nose. "I think I look like I got the shit beat out of me..." The teen swallowed a bit of blood that came up. It seemed he was getting beat up every day anyway.
---
"Kadaj, get out of here..." Jess ordered, telepathically. She wasn't intending to do anything with Lucifer, but just trick him. "Don't worry, nothing's going to happen." The ninja walked towards the devil and put her arms around him. "I think I'd serve as a better replacement..."
Lucifer chuckled and looked at the demoness smirking a bit "Indeed…" he let out lifting Jess' head up with a finger so that he could look into her eyes again. A small grin went over his lips as he kissed the woman lightly on her lips, wanting to see how she'd fully react to this. Seeing how she didn't want her husband to get fucked by anyone but herself.
---
Amelia walked over and grabbed onto Seigi's shoulder and disappeared with the teen, reappearing in front of Jen's house. "You know what to do, and you seem to have your plan ready so I will see you at the DSDA." She let out disappearing.
---
Kadaj winced at the sight of Jess kissing another person. He walked out of the room and left for Seigi's. Maybe he didn't leave just yet.
The ninja kissed him back and let her claws come out. They now had a 'poison' in them that would make whoever she clawed, go to sleep. She was waiting for a small opportunity. Surely if she clawed him now, she wouldn't get enough poison in. Then again she could, but the ninja didn't want to try.
---
Seigi leaned against the doorway and knocked hard. "Jen!" He yelled. The acting began. He slid down to his knees, coughing up a bit of blood.
Jen held up her hand turning off the training program. Putting Dragon Fang back in its sheath she quickly headed to the door hearing Seigi. Maybe he came back for something he left? Opening the door the dragoness nearly had a heart attack seeing Seigi with a busted up face "What happened?" she let out helping the teen up to his feet.
---
Lucifer watched as Kadaj went out; the man wrapped his arms around Jess' waist and pulled her close to his body as he deepened the kiss. Now that the little distraction wasn't in the room he could play. He had his tail hidden earlier, since Callista never truly liked him using it on her but right now he was horny and really felt like giving the thing a bit of a work out. Twisting his tail around beside him he stroked the demoness' inner thigh with it as he allowed his tongue to enter her mouth so he could play around with hers.
---
While Jen was occupied helping him up, Seigi pulled out the pistol and shot the woman in the stomach. He hoped it worked fast otherwise; he'd be dead in a matter of seconds.
"Some dragon... I think her name was Amelia..." He responded and took a few steps backwards.
---
Jess was slightly uneasy with the tail between her legs. She decided to claw him now to get it over with. She let out a slight moan and clawed at his back. When she was younger, the woman wanted to be an actress. Now she completely changed her career to ninja. At least I know I can act, now. She thought to herself as she let the devil's tongue wander around in her mouth.
Lucifer felt Jess sink her claws into his back, not like it bothered him because he was always clawed by something or someone during the foreplay. Although he felt his body suddenly get heavy and he drew back from the kiss, he felt suddenly exhausted. Letting go of Jess the devil took a step back and reached back to feel the claw marks, nothing out of the ordinary with them. "What did you do to me?" he questioned, his voice sounding tired to high hell.
---
Jen's eyes went wide at the mentioning of Amelia's name, although she felt her body lock up and ended up falling down to her knees in a dazed shock of pain. Those bullets… she recalled them from her files because SHE had made them herself. Did Amelia break in and open her weapons files at one point? No to many questions, her main objective should be to try and fight the stunning effect before she passed out… but that was to late the stun already had long enough to work and the dragoness fell over onto her side zonking out completely.
---
"Just enjoying myself," Jess responded. "What? You don't want anymore?" The woman added. She didn't think it would work this fast, but clearly, it did.
---
"I'm sorry..." Seigi apologized. It didn't seem right to leave the dragoness on the doorstep. He hid the gun in his clothes and picked her up, heading to her bedroom to put her down. So far his plan was working. He only needed Sephiroth to come out and get in an 'Oh my god, what happened to Jen?' mood.
---
Lucifer narrowed his eyes for a moment looking at Jess "You did something when you clawed me…" he let out straightening himself out for a moment as he took in a deep breath. Trying to keep himself awake was hard… but not that hard. The devil walked back over to Jess and slammed his hands down onto her shoulders "Now tell me what you did!" he let out his eyes flashing to a solid red for a moment.
---
Sephiroth had heard the gun shot and he grabbed Mesamune as he went to check on it… after all the sound came from the front door. Coming out of his room he caught a glimpse of Seigi… rather surprised to see the teen back really because of what happened. Running in behind the teen the silver haired man noted that he sat Jen down on her bed "What happened to her?" He questioned, not fully sure what was going on… but really he couldn't say he fully trusted the teen after what happened from that fight they had.
---
"I simply clawed you, that's all," Jess replied, feeling the weight of his hands on her shoulders. She walked out of the shadow clone she was in. The real her was now elsewhere. "First you're all horny and now you're angry. Are you sure you don't want me to still pleasure you?" She questioned somewhat teasingly.
---
"You really want to know?" Seigi questioned as he tried to punch his father.
Sephiroth grabbed Seigi's hand to keep from getting punched in the face "For some odd reason I think I know what happened now…" the man let out, he didn't want to believe that Seigi would bring any harm to Jen but then again… that wouldn't be out of the question. The silver haired man couldn't get a good swing with Mesamune now, not when he was in the doorway and had the small room to work in.
---
"Not if it means that I'll feel like this." Lucifer let out scowling as he felt a wave of tiredness flow over his body. His grip on the demoness' shoulders loosened for a moment "I feel tired… to tired…" the Devil let out and glared at the Shadow Clone, he didn't truly know how much longer he would be able to fight back this sudden urge to fall asleep.
---
Seigi took Seph's wrist that held his hand and squeezed. With his demon strength, it probably hurt more on a human.
"It's not that I hate you..." The teen began. "It's because you hate me..."
---
Jess sighed and came out from the wall. Now there was three of her, and the real one was now visibly in the room.
"You should stick with your devil buddies in hell as well as Callista," Jess stated, waiting for him to fall asleep.
"Rotten little demoness…" Lucifer let out narrowing his eyes "I love Callista just as much as I'd love another woman… your all the same. Just something for us men to relieve ourselves with… that's all you'll ever be used for. Sex, cleaning and cooking…" the devil let out his eyes flashing solid red again before he fell down to the floor passing out.
---
Sephiroth cringed when Seigi squeezed his wrist "Why did you attack Jen then? She didn't have anything to do with our little fight." The man let out trying to kick the teen so he could get a better advantage.
---
"Whatever," Jess let out, touching Lucifer's shoulder and teleporting him back to hell. Her shadow clones disappeared. "Hey, Kadaj!" She called. After a few seconds, she wondered why she called his name. If she stayed any longer it would be hours before she came back. And that would be months in the Realm of Time.
---
Seigi let his father kick him. Humans never hit that hard. He squeezed harder on the older man's wrist. "She's just knocked out."
Sephiroth cringed again, he had to get defensive. Pulling his arm back he was trying to relieve some of the pressure that was being put on his wrist, to let some of the pain go. "Your acting more like a spoiled brat now than ever… why the hell are you doing this?" he let out narrowing his eyes for a moment.
"I think you of all people should know," Seigi responded. He held on tighter to the wrist, hearing a slight popping noise. Knowing that the hand was now useless, he let go of it and went for a kick to the man's head.
Sephiroth narrowed his eyes and cringed when he heard the pop… yeah the wrist was either fractured or broken. Either way he wasn't going to be able to use it now. Moving back since he didn't have his hand held he avoided the kick… not wanting to take another blow or anything from Seigi. "Let me guess Kadaj kicked you out because you did something stupid…" he let out.
"That's not entirely it," The teen said as he tried a variety of punches and kicks. Oddly, I might have to shift into demon form. Must be the Jenova cells in him.
"What else is there then?" Sephiroth questioned, he had backed himself out of the room and now he had the room to use Mesamune… but he really didn't want to hurt Seigi. But he didn't really have much of a choice… slashing at the teen with the sword the silver haired man tried to at least keep the teen at bay… so he could think of something.
---
Callista reappeared in the realm of time, folding her wings up she walked into the house that Jess was staying in. She wasn't sure why she was here… after all Marcus didn't need her for anything and she had no real reason to be in this realm. The Halfling let out a rough sigh and walked over to the couch, not sitting down because she knew that Jess would probably get pissed about her being here in the first place.
---
"You're so stupid..." Seigi muttered and made his sword appear. He deflected every hit. "You're not the only swordsman." He went in to impale Seph. Although, he knew the silver-haired man would be able to dodge it.
---
"Do you want a sandwich or something?" Keia asked, peering into the room. "I'm making lunch now, but please stay quiet. The kids are sleeping." She turned her attention back to put the sandwiches together. "Just a simple meal today."
Callista glanced over to where Keia was at… "Sure… I could use something to get my mind of things." She let out; she heard the mentioning of kids. She did recall the child Jess had been holding, but then again she didn't want to bother much with children seeing as she had her own to take care of. Even though they were fully capable of taking care of themselves. Well she had never seen an actual baby… at least not since Des and Ciaran. "Would it be all right if I looked at the children? I won't wake them up or anything." She stated.
---
Sephiroth lowered Mesamune down to move the sword to a side, so it wouldn't hit him and instead hit the wall. Moving off to a side the man lashed out and cut through one of the walls, leaving a spark where the sword went through the wall. He was actually glad that Seigi didn't decide to break his good wrist, thankful even… but then again the boy was putting up a better fight. "Hmph… just because you have a sword doesn't mean you're a swordsman. "
---
"Uh... sure. I just put them to sleep so please keep quiet," Keia responded. "They like it dark in their room when they sleep, too. So don't open the blinds or turn on the light." She remembered Marcus leaving earlier as well. "If you're looking for Marcus, too; he left a couple hours ago."
---
Seigi drew his sword back and slashed wildly at Seph. He knew the man would block every hit, but his plan was still in motion. The teen knew his endurance was great and that he'd probably out last the sivler-haired man. "I was trained by a demon swordsman." He waited for another attack after a few seconds.
Sephiroth narrowed his eyes "Must have been a stupid swordsman then…" he let out blocking the attacks as he got backed up against a wall "I really don't want to kill you…" The man let out and tightened his grip on Mesamune. He held the long sword in a defensive posture, waiting for another attack by Seigi. Dodging the next attack that Seigi threw the man brought the sword up to knock the teen back, and followed up the move by turning around and slamming the blade through the boy's stomach "But if you leave me no choice I will…" Seph let out, his eyes returning to a normal calm state… although they appeared more hurt than anything.
---
"I could really care less about him right now…" Callista mumbled out and sighed closing her eyes as she walked down the hall to where Marcus and Jess had been talking. She just disappeared and reappeared in the room, so she wouldn't have to open the door and wake up the two children. The Halfling had her eyes, she could easily see in the dark. "Why would I want to look at babies? Their all the same…" she thought as she moved over to the sleeping area for the twins. Tilting her head to a side when she saw one of the children she had a bit of a confused look on her face. "Guess it's because I never really 'saw' a baby… much less have an infant's life…" the Halfling thought closing her eyes.
----
Seigi dropped his blade and looked down at the new 'wound' he'd received. Heh... I was overconfident... The teen thought and looked up into Sephiroth's eyes.
"Guess you were right... I'm not worth your time..." Seigi muttered and began walking into the blade towards the silver-haired man. He winced at the slight pain, but he tossed it aside when he reached the handle of the blade. "But it appears your swords stuck... Demon bones are hard to break this close up..." He felt blood come out of the side of his mouth. "Just glad... this isn't devils silver otherwise I'd be dead by now..." He grabbed at Sephiroth's other wrist that held the blade.
---
"Hey, sandwich is ready," Keia said through the door. "That's if you still want it. There's tea to go with it, too." Her footsteps could be heard going back to the kitchen area. The woman then sighed as she grabbed a hold of her sandwich.
"So this is your job now," Rei let out and wrapped his arms around Keia from behind, planting a kiss on her head. The woman chuckled when he nipped at her neck. She was extremely ticklish everywhere. "I'm done with my duties now. I'm going to take a break."
"Duties? That sounds like you took a big ol' crap," The demoness responded, getting another nip at the other side of her neck.
"Well, I'm off for awhile... So you're helping to take care of some more of Jess' kids?" The silver-haired demon questioned.
"Yeah. They're really cute. Remember Seigi and Seiga when they were little?" She'd turned around to face her boyfriend.
"I'll see them when they're awake. This aura I felt in their room--"
"Someone named Callista--"
"She's bad news I've heard. We can't leave her around the babies unattended." With that, Rei let go of Keia and headed out of the kitchen.
"No direct kiss?" She asked as he turned around. The demon did a simple peck on her lips before taking off for the bedroom.
----
Callista reopened her eyes and returned to looking at the infant in the crib… her tail twitched around behind her for a few moments. She wasn't going to really do anything besides stare, since the other demoness in the kitchen had told her to let them sleep. Her head turned to the door as she heard the footsteps, thinking it was Keia again the demoness disappeared and reappeared on the outside of the door. The Halfling glanced down the hallway seeing Rei, she rolled her eyes. "Just what I don't need… another fucking man to be a total ass and ruin my life even more…" Callista thought as she disappeared and reappeared in the kitchen.
---
Sephiroth cringed when Seigi went up the blade of Mesamune, the teen was right the sword was stuck… when Seph tried to pull back on the blade he couldn't. It wouldn't budge, stuck… the silver haired man never liked when his sword got stuck. Feeling Seigi putting more pressure on his good wrist the man narrowed his eyes "Guess I should have gone for the killing blow… he's to far gone…" the man thought closing his eyes not really wanting to kill the teen, his son for that matter. "It was wrong of me to expect so much of you… your what you are and I can't change that." The man stated reopening his eyes "If you're immature then I have to accept that… even if I don't really want to."
"I'm just trying not to be useless!" Seigi yelled and applied more pressure on his father's wrist. "I don't have anywhere to go, and usually when I do... I get kicked out. Then I get a lecture about how I should act more like my brother or be more mature!" He heard another snap. "I haven't tried a joke in awhile... so maybe this suits me..." The half demon stated and pulled out the sword in his midsection.
---
"Oh, your sandwich," Keia let out, handing Callista the item. "If I were you, I'd get out of here. Rei's a pretty strong demon, and he doesn't take well to strangers," The woman whispered. "I don't want to see another person get hurt."
Callista sighed and closed her eyes taking the sandwich as she took a bite and leaned against the wall "I don't really have anywhere else to go… hell's not going to be a very comfortable place after what happened between me and Lucifer. And really I don't think he'd want to see me anytime soon." The Halfling explained sighing a bit "And I really don't want to just go to my mom's house or Jess' mansion seeing how I'm kind of unwelcome in the places…" she stated and took another bite from the sandwich "I could really care less what anyone does to me right now… I don't have much energy to fight with."
---
"I shouldn't have lectured you! I know it was wrong of me to do that…" Sephiroth let out narrowing his eyes "But what's killing me going to do for you? What would it do for anyone? Jen would be pissed at you and you know she'd take on the task of kill you! Not to mention your mother would be pissed at you!" The man let out as his eyes narrowed more "Tell me why the hell you are doing this!"
Seigi pulled the sword all the way out and fell to his knees in front of the man. "I..." He began. There was a moment of silence. "I... want to belong somewhere. I'm not accepted anywhere, but she offered..." The teen was having a hard time with himself. "Amelia offered a place for me to stay. Kadaj was being an ass and kicked me out..." The wound on his body healed while he talked. "Just kill me... I only bring problems, and I can't do anything right..."
---
"There's a hotel like a half an hour's walk north. You can stay there for the time being. I'll... go with you if you want me too, but I can't stay that long," Keia replied. She knew Rei was looking at the children, and the demonesses only had a few minutes to decide.
Callista glanced back at the door "Are you sure you'd want to walk with me? After all… I'm dangerous." She let out and walked out the door. She didn't feel like teleporting, why should she? She didn't know where this place was… worst of all what if she ran into Seiga or someone else who hated her… then what would she do.
---
Sephiroth closed his eyes for a couple moments and just slide down the wall into a sitting position "You know you can always come back here… I wouldn't kick you out again or force you to leave…" the man stated. "I realized a lot of things when you weren't here… you belong here don't be putting those ideas in your head that your nothing and your useless." The silver haired man stated "I know I compared you with Jacques… I shouldn't have done that. I should have taken in your feelings rather than lecture you."
---
Keia followed the demoness. "Well, you haven't tried to attack, and I doubt you will." She started walking in the direction of the hotel. "Err-- I can get Sienna to pay for it so, yeah..." The woman thought for a moment. "Anyways, what are you doing here?"
---
"Now you finally realize that?" Seigi looked back up at Sephiroth. He reached in his pocket and pulled out the pistol. After sighing he tossed it at the silver-haired man. "Maybe I just don't belong anywhere..." The teen turned his back towards his father and started towards the door. Surely when Amelia found out about him, he'd be killed. And there would probably be people on him.
Seph cringed feeling his wrists "Don't go… you'll end up getting yourself killed." The man let out and looked down at the pistol. "What is it that Amelia wanted you to do?" He questioned, his wrists could just wait… they weren't much of a problem and the healing springs would work just find on them.
---
"It's the only place I could think of to go to that wouldn't kill me." Callista let out sighing "If I had gone to a holy realm my powers would have been useless and I would have died… or worse yet have Marcus summon me to him." The demoness let out with a soft hiss, she was starting to feel a hatred towards men in general.
---
"Nobody would miss me," Seigi replied, stopping. "Amelia just wanted me to capture you." He looked back at the silver-haired man. "I think it would be better if I were out of everyone's life. Seeing as... I only bring trouble," He stated before starting towards the door again.
---
"Oh..." Keia let out. "Those codes are a bitch, huh? I've had to keep my end of the deal for about 4 people so far. But none of them were other demons." She looked back at the house, hoping Rei knew she'd be okay.
Callista sighed "This one has been the worse one I've been put on… bastard can't think of anything he desires like the rest of the people I was bound to…" the Halfling let out with a snort "I swear if I could just get my hands on the demon who put these codes out… I'd strangle his ass…" she let out with a growl.
---
Sephiroth cringed for a moment and got himself up onto his feet and he walked up to the teen "If you really want a place to stay… then take me to Amelia. I'd rather have you staying alive in a place than have you out wandering…" The man let out closing his eyes as he glanced back over his shoulder. "Jen… will just have to understand that I chose to do this."
---
Keia simply chuckled at Callista's response. "Did you try suggesting things?" She questioned.
---
"No." Seigi made it to the door and opened it. "I can't do that anymore," He said as he started walking towards the sidewalk.
Sephiroth sighed and looked back to where Seigi was going… he didn't want to leave Jen alone but… Seigi seemed to be the one who needed someone right now. Moving out the door the man kicked it shut and quickly followed after Seigi walking beside the teen "Let me just walk with you for a bit then…" the silver haired man stated.
---
"These codes have been put into order for the protection of both the holy realms and the underworlds realms. New codes will break the balance between the two worlds and cause a destruction of the physical plain." Callista quoted in her best man voice with a light chuckle "Fat ass bastard… he wouldn't have said that if Lucifer was there with me…" she muttered out and snorted "But he was to busy fucking his little slaves to come with me."
---
"No..." Seigi repeated. "I don't want anything from you," He let out, transforming into his demon form and taking off, faster than any human could run. He didn't know where he was going... just as long as he got somewhere.
---
"Look on the Brightside; at least we don't have to be with them 24/7. I'd miss Rei too much and probably get home sick," Keia responded. She didn't have much to say; although, she was a bit tired due to staying up from the racket in Jess' room.
Callista chuckled a bit "I'd be happy to stay with them 24/7… at least then I wouldn't be fucking bored." The Halfling let out rolling her eyes "But then they'd get to annoying after awhile." She let out with a shrug.
---
Sephiroth sighed and closed his eyes shaking his head. "He shouldn't have to run…" the man mumbled out and turned around to head back to the house.
Amelia let out a chuckle grabbing Sephiroth from behind "He had plenty of reasons to run…" the dragoness let back jerking the silver haired mans arms behind his back making him let out a light scream of pain "What are you doing out here injured and so defenseless?" She let out with a laugh.
Seph closed his eyes for a moment trying to block out the pain that was coming from his arms "Damn you bitch…" he let out and felt her jerk back more on the two limbs making his shoulders pop.
"I told you not to CALL ME THAT!" Amelia let out with a growl as she jerked Seph back when he tried to jerk forward. "Your not getting away this time… thanks to Seigi I was able to get your sorry ass out of that house without worrying about Jen…" the dragoness let out with a sneer. She felt the man stop his struggling to get away "That's more like it…"
---
"I get bored being with them. I've only had humans, and the only reason they saved me is... just keeping me from drowning. I used to not know how to swim," Keia explained.
---
Seigi stopped in an alley. He yelled and punched the nearest building, making a hole in it. Seeing what he'd done, he leapt up to the roof of the building opposite from it.
"Stupid..." He muttered, changing back to his human form. "So stupid!" He shouted, falling to his knees again. "Brother... where are you?"
---
"What is it, Jess?" Kadaj asked, walking into the room. The woman ran up to her husband and hugged him.
"I'm sorry..." She whispered before teleporting off. Minutes meant hours in the time realm so she had to leave immediately.
---
Callista chuckled "Marcus… saved me when I was helping out to stop Seiga from killing his brother… he got me out of that realm before it could do more damage since I had basically almost killed myself by using my powers." She explained and sighed.
---
Amelia smirked seeing how Seph basically gave up for her. Looking at the house the dragoness grabbed both of Seph's arms with one hand and held out her other "Let's just get rid of all your little memories…" she let out and send a fireball at the house blasting open the front and setting it on fire.
"NO!" Sephiroth let out and got jerked back cringing in pain when he felt the dragoness apply a lot of pressure on his wrists. He just wanted to fall down to his knees… but that wench… she was holding him up to make SURE he looked at what she had done.
Amelia smirked and felt Seph try to fall again; she jerked him back up and disappeared with the man appearing in her area of the DSDA. It was dark this time around but she could easily see jerking Seph forward the dragoness walked over pulled the man up in front of her lifting him up by his wrists.
Sephiroth let out another small scream of pain… the full weight of his body tugging down on his wrists was to much. He felt steel get cuffed around the areas and soon he was let go dropping down to his feet. A SNAP was heard and his wrists were now completely broken.
Amelia let out a chuckle and looked into those cat like orbs that Seph had. She saw him close his eyes and just smirked before walking off "I'll deal with you later…" the dragoness let out walking down the stairs and heading out of the area.
---
Jess teleported back to her place. She could sense that Keia wasn't around, but Rei was. The woman walked over to the kids' room.
"Cute, huh?" She let out.
"You could say. You know that Seigi and Seiga's eyes weren't catlike until about 3 years old. Who knows about these two...? Anyway, what did you name them?" Rei asked, watching the baby move a bit in it's sleep.
"Shiro and Sai."
"Good names. Are you just sticking with s's?" He questioned.
"I guess. But I didn't choose the other twin's names." Jess sighed and went to her bedroom. She laid on her bed, feeling someone jump on top of her.
"I never thought you'd come back," Marcus stated with his lips close to Jess' ear. He sat up beside Jess and handed her a small box. "I'm not proposing, don't worry."
"You scared me for a second." The demoness opened the box, seeing a ring in it.
"It's just something I bought for you. I know... nothing can really go on between us..." He let out and looked off to the side.
---
"Crazy kids now a days, huh?" Keia let out with another chuckle.
"Heh… you should see Des and her brother." Callista let out shaking her head "If your wondering why I wanted to see the kids earlier… it's because I've never actually seen a baby. Well I've seen a baby… Des and Ciaran but they… grew up just like me. In a few minutes they were already teenagers." She explained "I never got the chance to raise my children."
---
Yuraska cracked open his eyes hearing the chains rattle for a moment before they stopped. He looked like he had a bad 5 o'clock shadow… since Amelia never truly cared much about him or Alex. Glancing over he saw Sephiroth… with his head lowered down and eyes close "Seph!" the man let out.
Alex opened his eyes and looked over at Yura "He's not…" the man stopped himself when he saw the silver haired man "No…" he let out "Sephiroth!"
Seph opened his eyes hearing his name being called; glancing to his sides he saw the two. "Who are you?" he questioned.
"Alex… I worked with Jen. You know your wife." Alex stated and saw Seph just look at him like he was a total nut "I know you might not believe me but it's true. I work with your wife… to kill demons." He explained.
Yura looked over at Alex "Seph how… what happened?"
"I don't know her name…" Sephiroth let out lowering his head down more "She… she blew up the house. Jen was… still in there." The man let out cringing at the thoughts.
Alex looked over at Yura "Jen could survive something like that… don't worry I'm sure she's still alive…"
"She… she was knocked out earlier. By my son… Seigi. I don't think she would have been up in time…" Sephiroth cut himself off when he felt the urge to cry just give in.
Alex closed his eyes for a moment and leaned back, he didn't know what to say now. Could Jen have been taken out? Possibly burnt to death or… smoke inhalation got to her… no she couldn't die like that.
---
"If I met you before Kadaj--"
"You barely knew Kadaj before you were engaged, didn't you?" Marcus questioned.
"How do you know--"
"I went back and watched it. A bit of a strange birthday surprise, huh?... So what's the difference with me?" The demon asked.
"Here." Jess handed back the box with the ring in it. "I can't wear it without feeling more guilty than I already do."
"You didn't answer my question."
"You came too late..." The ninja responded. "That's all..."
---
"Lucky you. These half human have to age normally until they turn around 20; then they stop." Keia looked at the sky. "It looks like it's going to rain. Rain's always nice here. No lightening... no cold breeze. It's nothing like the realm Sienna's in now." The demoness let out a slight sigh.
Callista glanced up and sighed "Might do me some good to get a little wet…" she let out sighing "With me… being a half devil half demon… I aged rapidly at birth and when I hit about 18ish I stopped aging and aged like a normal human. Now I'm… I don't know how fucking old… but I only look like I'm in my 20s." she let out chuckling.
---
"You said your son did Jen in?" Yura questioned.
"He just knocked her out…" Sephiroth replied.
"Still it would be his fault if she died… he did after all knock her out." Yura stated.
"Yura! Knock it off!" Alex let out.
Sephiroth lowered his head down again feeling another wave of tears coming on "I…" the man stopped, he couldn't form words now because he doesn't know what to say.
"Your son knocked Jen out for who knows how long! Amelia set the house on fire and Jen was still inside… it would have been your sons fault if she dies because HE was the one who had put her in the condition she was in!" Yura yelled out. "Your son betrayed you…"
Alex let out a growl and jerked over towards Yura, he couldn't reach the other dragon but oh how he wanted to "SHUT UP YURA!" the man yelled out with a growl.
---
"That sounded a bit... pervy..." Keia replied. "You remind me of my sister, somehow."
---
Seigi peered at the night sky. A drop fell on his face, followed by more. It was raining, now. He plopped on his back. The teen was sitting on top of a building in the rain. He chuckled.
"The sky's falling on me..." He began. "Another inanimate thing that hates me." The half demon reached one hand up towards the sky. "Fuck you, too."
---
"Sienna?" Callista questioned crossing her arms up in front of her chest.
---
Yura let out a hiss at Alex and soon closed his eyes dropping his head down "Sorry…" he mumbled out.
"Don't be like that in here… if you start breaking down you'll just be giving Amelia what she wants." Alex let out.
"No ones coming to save us… Turk's dead… Isabella's dead and Herold… he doesn't give a damn about us. Jen didn't know we were here so why the fuck should she care about us if we die?" Yura let out growling.
"JEN CARED ABOUT US AND YOU KNOW IT!" Alex let out with a growl and jerked against his chains again "I swear you've been acting like such an emotional asshole ever since that girl you loved died! GET OVER HER!" the dragon yelled out.
Yura glared over at Alex and jerked against the chains managing to kick Alex in the face with his foot "Don't you even bring her up into this…." The dragon hissed out.
Seph sighed and closed his eyes "Both of you just shut the fuck up… I don't want to hear your fucking bullshit. Your just acting like a pair of brothers who can't cooperate with each other. Your acting just like my sons. So shut the fuck up and just leave each other alone." The man let out, he knew the two dragons were probably staring at him now… he didn't care though.
---
"Yeah." Keia looked back at the sky. "You know, I did some math and found out a month is equal to two hours. So the time's really not as fast as you think it is, here."
---
Seigi was still looking at the sky. "I'll show them I'm worth something..." He murmured and sat up. "You hear that! I'm going to show them! They're all going to take me seriously!" He paused a few seconds. "What am I going to do?" The teen got up and started running the opposite direction of the house. "I'm going to the Realm of Time... and I'm finding Seiga to beat him!"
---
"Why do you do this to me?" Marcus questioned, letting Jess lean on him.
"Tell that to Sienna. She's the one who made me what I am... who I am now. I'd still be human if it wasn't for her..." The woman replied. "I'd be... normal..."
---
Callista looked over at Keia "That's interesting…" she let out and sighed making her wings disappear. The Halfling glanced over her shoulder and let out a low growl before she made her pace slightly faster. She didn't want to stay around that house anymore… "Damn him for saving me…" the Halfling mumbled out angrily.
"I've had way too much free time," Keia responded. "Anything interesting that you know?" She questioned, keeping pace with the demoness.
---
Marcus rolled himself on top of the ninja again. "Jess, I--"
"What are you doing to her?" Rei questioned, standing in the doorway. "She's married, Marcus." The demon got in an offensive position.
"Rei--"
"Heh, don't try to explain," Rei interrupted. He ran towards Marcus and punched him in the face. He flew out of the window, breaking the glass.
"Rei!" Jess yelled.
"I'll fix that later." Rei ran out towards Marcus.
---
"Well I know how to summon hell hounds…" Callista let out sighing as she finally slowed her pace down feeling she was far enough away from the house. "But I really don't know anything interesting… you'd think I would after living almost 4 years in hell." She stated.
"Well, it's better than being imprisoned for about 2 thousand years," Keia said. She glanced back in the direction of the house.
---
Marcus blocked a hit intended for his head. After dodging a few more, he hit the attacking demon in the chest, knocking him off balance. Rei then leapt back to his feet and tried kicking Marcus. He then drew out a small knife without Marcus' acknowledgement.
"See ya..." He let out, about to impale Marcus in the chest. Rei found himself stabbing Jess in the middle of her chest.
"Bye..." She responded, falling back on Marcus. "Devil's silver..." She mumbled.
"What are you thinking!" Rei let out.
"Jess..." Marcus had her head in his lap, facing the sky. A drop of rain fell on her cheek.
"Look on the bright side, you won't have to worry about me anymore..." She responded as Marcus traced the outline of her lips with his fingers.
"You shouldn't have saved me..." The demon murmured.
---
Callista stopped completely and glanced back in the direction Keia was looking "Something's wrong…" she let out narrowing her eyes for a moment. Her attention turned to the bracelet she had on her hand, nothing out of the ordinary… at least nothing yet.
---
"Callista..." Marcus let out as he felt the demoness go limp in his arms.
"I didn't mean to--"
"I know... she deserved better..." The demon watched as she stay still. He remembered last time she died.
---
"Like what?" Keia asked.
"You mean you couldn't…" The Halfling got her sentence cut off when she was teleported to the area landing on her feet. She had a scowl on her face since she had been interrupted. Callista let out a sigh and looked over at Marcus "You called?" she questioned
"Can you bring her back?... If that's something I truly desire..." Marcus questioned, still holding Jess' body. If you won't, then I will...
"I am not Lucifer nor am I god. My specialty lies in taking lives not giving them." Callista explained sighing "I wouldn't be able to bring her back to life… no matter how hard I tried." The Halfling explained and glanced over to Rei for a moment before her attention turned fully to Marcus.
"Damn it..." Marcus muttered. He put his hand on the ninja's cheek. Her body was slowly losing its color. "None of you will remember this even happened..." He let out. The demon held up a hand and turned it counter clockwise.
He found himself with Jess leaning on him.
"I'd be... normal..." The demoness let out. She put her arms around Marcus and stayed there.
"What are you doing to her?" Rei questioned.
"Nothing. She's just hugging me," The demon responded. Rei watched as Jess stayed where she was.
"I'll let it by this time... She's married. Remember that," The silver-haired demon back off and headed for the living room.
---
Callista let out a chuckle "Being banished to hell for 10 months was bad enough… I wouldn't be able to take 2000 years of being imprisoned." She let out shaking her head "I would die of boredom."
"I just got a strange feeling of deja vu..." Keia let out. "Ah well... Anyway. I was asleep the whole time." She rubbed the back of her head. Something felt weird.
---
Marcus hugged the ninja back and was glad she was alive. He kissed her cheek which led to her kissing him on the lips.
"I hate myself..." She murmured.
---
Callista looked at Keia "You getting the feeling like we've already been through this before?" the Halfling questioned glancing over her shoulder "Well… those 10 months of Banishment resulted in Des and Ciaran being born." She let out laughing a bit.
"No kids for me so far... I'm not expecting either..." Keia responded. "If we run, we'll get there quicker."
Callista sighed "For some odd reason I'm just not wanting to go now…" the Halfling let out glancing back over her shoulder again "I don't know why…" she mumbled out "2 kids and I can't have anymore."
"Oh... well..." Keia looked at Callista and cocked her head to the side. "So should we just head back?" She asked.
Callista closed her eyes for a moment, she didn't know if she should go back or not. Finally she nodded and started heading back in the direction the two came "I don't know why I got the sudden change of mind." She let out.
"Beat you there!" Keia exclaimed and took off towards the house. She wasn't that fast in her human form, but faster than most humans.
Callista chuckled and sank the heel of he shoes into the ground for a moment before sprinting off to catch up the Keia, she never liked running. Her boobs would always just… get in the way and everything. Walking was always better, but why would she turn down a race? Even if her outfit didn't give to much support for her boobs, she wasn't the type to back down from anything.
Keia chuckled for a moment. It'd been awhile since she let out the little girl in her. Her somewhat small figure helped her a lot in these cases. Glancing back, she saw Callista catching up.
Callista chuckled a bit "You're a lot faster than me." She let out nearly slipping out because the previous rain made the ground slick. Catching up to Keia she matched the others pace, until she caught a slick spot and went skidding acrossed the ground face first into a clump of mud. The Halfling pulled her face out of the mud and gasped for a moment "And I just showered to…" she let out chuckling.
Keia stopped and slid, falling on her rear end. She got mud up her pants and just plop backwards. The mud was nice and cool compared to the temperature before.
"Should we call it a tie?" She questioned, pointing towards the house a few yards away.
Callista glanced over the house and wiped the mud off her face "You would have beat me…" she let out chuckling as she got up keeping her balance this time by letting her wings reappear. "But a tie sounds nice." The Halfling stated straightening up the one piece outfits top, it had gotten a bit crooked from the impact of her hitting the ground. Callista soon looked up when she felt some rain drops hit her. "Well that's just perfect…" she let out.
"Look on the bright side, there's a hidden room Sienna built. It has a big hot tub in there. We can take turns. You as a guest can go first," Keia responded. "Well, we kinda have to shower before we go in don't we?"
Callista let out a snicker at Keia's first comment "Well I dunno, we're both ladies it's not like we can't just wrap a towel around ourselves and get into the hot tub together." She let out chuckling and she shook her hands shaking off some of the mud on them "Yeah… we might want to get a bit… clean before we get into the hot tub… don't want to turn it into a mud bath that bubbles." She let out chuckling more.
"You should shower first," Keia stated. "Just let me get Rei to run an errand for me to get him out of the house." She walked in. "Hey, Rei."
"What happened?" He questioned.
"I was just running and slipped. Could you do something for me?" She asked.
"Like?..." Keia walked up to Rei and whispered something in his ear. "Err- sure. But where are we going to do that?" She replied again in a hushed voice. "You got it." The demon teleported out. Keia walked back out to Callista. "You can go in the shower now. First door to the right down the hall."
Callista nodded and headed towards the house, she was running her hand through her hair to get some of the mud clumps out. She didn't want to question how the girl got the other demon out of the house but she was rather thankful for it. She didn't want to have to put up with Rei and Marcus… Marcus was bad enough with his attitude. She took off her shoes before walking into the house, she didn't want to leave a mud trail. Walking to the hallway the Halfling went into the bathroom and closed the door, she didn't lock it though. Making her wings go inside her body she took out the tie in her hair and got out of her garments getting into the shower turning it onto a mixture of hot and cold water. Letting the water run over the body Callista leaned forward with her hands under the shower head… her forehead leaned against the showers wall… "I shouldn't even be here…" she mumbled out knowing that she was having second thoughts about coming back.
---
Keia sat outside on the small porch. She had mud all over her backside. Sighing and taking off her over shirt, she felt relieved once it was off.
---
"I don't think we should be doing this with Callista here..." Jess whispered to Marcus as he kissed down the side of her neck.
"She's in the shower. We can stop when she's done," He responded.
---
Callista's eyes let off a glow for a moment as she let out a low growl. That jealous feeling was coming up again… she had to hold it back in. She shouldn't be getting jealous over Jess and Marcus… she had Lucifer. "Fucking bastard." The Halfling let out slamming her fist into the showers wall making the shower shake… her hand tingled with a numb feeling for a moment before it went away. Why was she upset with her husband? They loved each other… they had 2 kids… why was she so mad at him? "Because he's a fucking bastard who doesn't pay attention to me…" she answered her own minds questions out loud with a growl. "Everyone seems to hate me… everyone is always shunning away from me. Why in the hell did I even bother coming back here?" The Halfling let out making claws appear on her fingers as she sank them into the glass cutting up the tips of her fingers.
---
"Why did you stop?" Marcus questioned as Jess sat up.
"You know Callista cares about you. I can sense it," Jess responded. "She... is a girl too. She's jealous..."
"But she's married--"
"So am I. But..." The ninja sighed. "Maybe you should consider her feelings as well."
"What? She's really not my type. Impulsive, annoying--"
"So am I." Jess chuckled, pulling up her sleeve. "So what's the difference? We're both demons. We both have feelings for you--"
"I won't suffocate in your breasts." The demon heard Jess let out a small laugh.
"True, but still." Jess got off the bed and started towards the door. "I'm going to eat something. I haven't--" She heard one of the twins start to cry.
"I'll get that." Marcus stood up and headed for the bedroom.
"I'll get the other one. You can't exactly comfort two babies at once." The ninja followed after Marcus.
---
Callista eyed the door for a moment, pulling her claws out of the glass. Purple eyes turned away as she snorted when she heard the child crying. The Halfling just snorted and finished washing herself off making sure all the mud was off. Getting out the Halfling dried herself off, she just put on her bra and made some shorts appear, it was to hot to her in this place. Why run around in that heavy duty outfit she had? "To hide my body from those who hate me…" she mumbled out answering the question. Callista made her wings come out, holding out her hand she made the mud caked cloths she had on earlier disappear and cleaned up the muddy floor before she walked out. Growling for a moment before she sensed where Keia was the demoness went that way so she could inform the other demoness that she could shower. The Halfling didn't want to stay in that god forsaken house for much longer because of that stupid jealous feeling.
---
Jess held the child she named Shiro as Marcus held Sai. "I wish I were a child again…" The ninja let out, listening to the silence. It seemed like in the woman's presence, the babies calmed down.
"Why do you say that?" The demon questioned, slightly puzzled.
"Life was much simpler. And you weren't in all these love problems. Just play all day with no cares," Jess responded. "Then again. I'm glad I grew up." The woman paused for a moment. "I wouldn't have so many wonderful people in my life. And I don't think I got any smarter, though. I hated class and never paid attention."
---
Walking out Callista ran a hand through her hair, trying to calm herself down before anything happened. She went out on the porch and tapped Keia's shoulder "Showers all yours." The Halfling stated, her eyes were red… solid red without any pupil at all. Her emotions were getting the better of her senses right now, but nothing else at least nothing else besides her eye color. The demoness walked over to the edge of the porch and just looked out; glancing up at the sky for a moment she didn't know what to think right now. Jealousy? Angry? Sadness? Heh yeah right on the last one, why would she be sad? Well she had plenty of reasons, but she didn't want to mention them. Callista just let out a sigh and pulled her hair up in front so she could mess with it. She didn't want to do anything now… her emotions could get out of hand on her.
"Are you sure that you're okay, Callista?" Keia asked before entering the house. She was worried due to the fact that her eyes were red. Being a former bounty hunter, Keia could tell when demons emotions were getting high. Usually, she used that to her advantage. But now, she was just a secretary for Sienna as well as somewhat of a servant. She could sense rage in this demoness… much similar to Sienna.
---
"I've never had any children," Marcus responded in their current conversation. "The only person I've… been with was Angelina and that's all. No one else. All these years, I've been running errands for upper level demons so that I could gain power. Of course, I became strong, but…"
"Interesting," Jess let out. Shiro was having his diaper changed. "Oh, God… I remember that smell…" The ninja gagged and tossed the dirty diaper aside. "Didn't miss it one bit."
---
Callista heard the question, she didn't want to answer it because she wasn't sure of herself right now "I'm not sure…" she let out loud enough for Keia to hear. That feeling of jealousy came in again; she growled for a moment and hopped off the porch, her feet splashing up water from the puddle she landed in. It was annoying her, she never felt these feelings before and they were driving her mad. "Damn these emotions…" she thought rubbing her forehead, those red orbs staring up at the sky again.
"Well… I'll be out in a bit, and we'll see about that," Keia responded as she walked in the house to go to the shower.
---
"Well, they're asleep again. I guess they just needed a diaper change." Jess put the baby down and walked over, shutting off the light with Marcus following.
"We have awhile before Rei comes back…" Marcus let out, nibbling on Jess' ear from behind. She turned around, feeling him put his arms around her and bringing her in for a kiss. Was it just her or was Marcus overly horny lately? She returned the kiss, letting his tongue massage hers as he stroked her back.
---
Callista looked down at the bracelet again; she let out a growl her eyes narrowing when that high emotion of Jealousy got to her. Her eyes went black for a moment before they returned to their red state, cringing for a moment the demoness knew that her emotions had reached their peek… and that forced her to go into her full form. Her wings spread out behind her as her horns grew out and she went into the demonic form, a light wave of black energy caused a shockwave to shoot off from her body. The Halflings body was covered in a black flame, her aura and her energy had been fully restored. Growling for a moment she slammed her foot down sending up mud as she let out a roar which made the ground shake for a moment as she turned around glaring at the house, snarling as some drool fell down from her fangs and down onto the ground.
---
Jess felt the house rumble… the children woke up crying again. Even though they were babies, they could sense Callista's menacing aura as she was changing.
"Get the kids out of here," Jess pushed away from Marcus and ran down the hall. She turned around, watching the demon standing still. "Hurry!" She commanded. "Do it now!" The ninja then ran the rest of the way to see Callista in her full form. "What the hell is wrong with you!" She yelled.
---
Marcus, on the other hand, hurried to the kids and teleported them out along with their cradles. He couldn't take them to the normal realm so he settled for a place a few hundred miles away that he knew.
"Hey, Jack," Marcus let out.
"What'd it be, Darkheart?" The mortal questioned.
"Could you and your wife take care of these kids for a couple hours? I'll pay you."
"M'kay. Cute kids. They have your face--"
"They aren't mine. I didn't steal them either if that's what you're thinking…. Their mother's in trouble so I have to go now--"
"Hold on. Please explain the whole situation."
---
Callista narrowed her eyes and glared at Jess, the Halfling snarled and opened her mouth sending a black blast of fire at Jess "Everything's wrong with me…" her voice came out almost telepathically since her mouth hadn't moved after the blast was sent off. "I hate everything and everyone… and everyone hates me…" She let out with a growl as she stepped up onto the porch causing a couple of the boards to crack under her feet.
"You might think that…" Jess responded, shifting into her demon form. "But sometimes, there's always someone who cares about you. I've been like you… thinking that everyone hates me, and I killed myself because of that. Now that I'm back, everyone who cared about me… they're happy." She sighed, remembering Kadaj's face when he found her alive. "Yet… I'm still dissatisfied with myself…" The ninja admitted.
Callista smirked "That's because you're fucking someone else besides your husband…." The Halfling let out with a hiss. Her tail coiled up behind her, it was soaked in mud due to it being down in the mud for a while. Seeing that Jess had gone to her full form she let out a growl and charged, her emotion of anger taking over her mind more than the others she had been feeling. "Your only using Marcus… he's not something that should be used like a fucking dildo or anything like that." She let out and jumped up at the last second trying to slam her hind legs into Jess' chest.
Jess felt the impact of Callista's legs hitting her chest. She knew she could've dodged it, but why didn't she? The ninja went crashing through the house's outer wall and through a few more. After a few seconds, she leapt up, ready for any attack Callista might attempt. "It isn't like that, Callista!" She yelled. "If I didn't love him… I wouldn't have done anything like that with him!"
Callista growled and landed on her hind legs, her hands were on the floor as she folded her wings back to keep them out of her way. Narrowing her eyes the demoness launched herself again, charging at Jess "Then what about your husband? Do you love him to? Or are you like me…" she let out lashing out with her claws, the Halfling his the wall several times leaving long claw marks down them… the impact of her claws against the walls left trails of sparks, apparently the walls were just doing the Halfling good and were just sharpening her claws.
Jess put her hands together in a hand sign. She triggered her fast healing technique… unfortunately; it didn't work on devil's silver. The ninja waited for Callista to strike. Her plan was to try and get the other demoness out of the house.
"I love him, too…" The woman responded. "I had his children…" She paused a moment. "You're still a child! Getting angry because of not being able to have something you can't have!"
Callista growled and narrowed her eyes at the end of what Jess had said "I am no child…" she let out and used both her claws and now her mouth, surely the demoness wouldn't be fully able to dodge 3 things especially those fangs. The Halfling kept on the other demoness, snapping down with her fangs to try and get a good hold if Jess made a mistake. "If you're truly committed to your husband then you wouldn't be cheating on him…"
"You're one to talk…" Jess responded, disappearing and reappearing behind Callista in a cloud of smoke. She began running towards the outside of the house. The ninja's plan to get the demoness out of the house was in action.
Callista sank her claws into the floor boards of the house tearing it up she turned around and charged after Jess. Lowering her head down at the last moment so that the back, blunt area of her horns were visible the Halfling went in for a ramming head butt aimed for Jess' back. "Lucifer never loved me… he said he did but if he did he wouldn't have been fucking his slaves… he gave me my personal slaves so he didn't have to bother with me! Men are all the same… they can't keep to one girl… they have to have their cows and their milk on the side."
"Enough talk--" The ninja felt the impact of Callista's horns. It knocked her off balance as she fell forward. "Nice place to set down the daggers, Jess…" she thought to herself as she landed on them. Both were now sticking through her.
Callista launched herself up about a foot into the air, attempting to slam her feet down on the ninja. If she got a hold of Jess she'd have a little fun with her… well fun for herself actually. What better way to relieve some unwanted frustration than by beating the total shit out of Marcus' little lover. That thought made the Halfling laugh… a bit of an insane laugh at that. "He wouldn't be able to control me either… not in this state of mind." She thought smirking.
Jess quickly teleported out of the way and outside of the house. She pulled out the daggers, realizing these were Keia's. Good… then they aren't devil's silver… She thought as the wounds healed. The ninja could see Callista through one of the windows.
Callista growled when her feet made contact with the floor. She dashed out through the opening and went outside, skidding acrossed the mud she saw a bolt of lighting go acrossed the sky. Snarling she located Jess' energy and went that way, jumping up onto the roof of the house to get their faster the Halfling launched herself from the edge of the roof and attempted to do a heel kick to Jess.
The ninja quickly used her 'disappear and reappear' cloud. "No way in hell I'm going to try and block that." She then charged where Callista would land.
Callista growled she couldn't stop herself from this attack. The impact of the ground sent up a shower of mud, and the Halfling went flipping over a couple times before her face made contact with a large pile of mud. She didn't move for a couple moments before she jerked her head out of the mud letting out a gasp as some of the caked on mud dripped down from the bottom of her jaw and her horns.
Jess took this precious time and went in for a kick to a pressure point on her arm that was visible to her. Once she takes out Callista's limbs, then that's when it would be over. "Where the hell is Marcus?" She thought to herself as she hoped her attack would hit.
Callista was still recovering from her mistake when she felt the pressure get put onto her arm, the Halfling let out a hiss and jerked her head around to attempt snapping at Jess. The arm was taken out… she couldn't feel it since it was numb and the fact that it stiffened up didn't make that any better.
Jess felt her arm being in a lot of pain. She clenched her teeth, barely the vampire-like fangs. Pulling her arm back was useless. In this type of hold, teleporting would be ineffective as well.
Callista tasted the blood from the demoness run down onto her tongue, her eyes let off a glow as the Halfling snapped from a normal state of mind… well normal for an insane thing. Letting out a snort she jerked her head from side to side, tearing at the limb she had in her mouth with her fangs, as she chomped down on it a couple more times hearing a loud SNAP come from the appendage. Although the snap only made the Halfling pause for a moment before she went back to chomping down on the arm.
Jess struggled to get loose... no use. "Damn it..." escaped from her lips. She held up the opposite hand to Callista's face as a warning when fire started surrounding it. "Sure... like this would hurt her, she lives in hell-- That's it!" The ninja made the fire disappear and gathered water out of the air instead. She took a bit of energy out of herself to change the water to holy as she splashed it on Callista's face.
Callista jerked her head back, smoke coming off it as the water hit her face. She let out a hiss and jerked herself away from Jess falling back on her back as she let out a hiss of pain clawing at her face with her usable arm. The Halfling sunk her claws down into her skin for a moment to try to divert the pain off; it didn't work though since the holy water had already burnt up her face. She raked her claws over her face one more time before letting out a growl as she glared towards Jess, her face charcoaled and burnt from the water.
Jess felt her arm painfully mend itself back together. More bites like that one and my energy will be gone... She leapt back to distance herself from Callista. "I know that was cheap..." The ninja let out. "Then again, we are demons..."
Callista lowered her head down, snarling as she bared her fangs letting out a low roar like growl. She wasn't built like a demon; her body couldn't heal itself like Jess'. Narrowing her eyes the Halfling charged again, this time she was aiming her horns at Jess, she wanted the tips to make some kind of contact if they could.
Jess moved out of the way right before Callista tried to run into her. If I attack again, she'll surely bite me again. And using holy takes more energy… She hopped on the roof of the house. But maybe I can wear her out…
Callista skidded to a stop and turned around letting out a growl. She narrowed her eyes and spread out the draconic wings she had on her back launching herself up into the air. The Halfling flew up, slightly higher than Jess was and did a nose dive down towards the base of the roof, a few feet before she would hit she did a complete loop, hopping the wing current from her speed would knock Jess off balance. A little blood was left on the roof area, where Callista's hind feet had made contact with the area. Her tail crazing the side of the roof as well, after the loop the Halfling straightened herself out in the air and folded one wing to a side so she did a sharp turn around.
Jess struggled to keep her footing. She finally started falling backwards, but she almost recovered in a back flip. Once another roll of thunder made the house shake, she fell on her stomach, giving Callista a moment to attack her.
Callista smirked and flapped her wings once before she did a sharp turn upwards. When she was above Jess the Halfling folded her wings tightly against her side going into a complete nose dive, she felt a wind blow by which made her spin in circles. Growling she held out her uninjured arm making the claws grow out, she felt the impact of what she hit and held herself up in the air her wings still folded up against her body. The pain she felt in her arm was little, just from the impact and nothing more.
Jess cringed again as she went through the roof and to the basement of the building. She didn't want to scream in pain and knew that if she did, she'd be making Callista happier. The ninja felt her bones popping back in place as well as her cuts healing. This healing technique also took energy from the ninja, which made it less reliable. "Where the hell are you, Marcus?" She let out, wiping blood off her lips. The ninja teleported back to the roof and a few yards behind Callista with her daggers in hand. She threw them at her.
Callista flipped down landing on her feet, feeling the daggers bore into her back made her let out a growl. Narrowing her eyes the Halfling smirked for a moment as she turned around to face Jess. Lowering down on her forelimbs she made her second set of wings come out which let a small trail of blood run down her sides soaking up in her fur. The wings had been forced into the body so when they came out they reopened the cut wound areas from where they were taken in. Sinking her claws into the roof the Halfling let out a snarl before a flash of lighting went out lighting up the area, which was all the demoness needed to push off. She charged at the ninja using her wings to give her some extra speed launching up with her hind legs Callista attempted to tackle Jess off the roof and back down onto the ground.
"Jess!" Marcus yelled, leaping in the way.
"Move it!" She screamed, pushing the demon out of the way. The collision of Callista's body knocked her off the roof top. She fell down along with the other demoness.
"Damn it!" He muttered, leaping off the rooftop. Keia came running out in a towel.
"I didn't want to come out while I still had shampoo in my hair..." She let out. Marcus held his palm up to her, making her teleport to the babies because she couldn't.
"We don't want another death..." He added. The demon went wide-eyed when he saw that Jess had a fence post sticking through her. "Jess..."
Callista growled and slowly stood back up shaking the mud off her as she turned around and glared back at the two. Her eyes narrowed when she saw Marcus "You…" she let out with a hiss turning around to face the demon. Sinking her claws into the mud the demoness folded out her wing in a slight intimidating manner before she let her eyes go black forming an area of darkness around her which slowly made anything around her suck down into it. Almost like quicksand, but instead this spread out, at a slow rate. "You should have just left me in that realm…" the Halfling let out with a snarl as she sunk down into the darkness.
Jess teleported out and in front of the demon. The wound healed quickly. "Leave."
"I can't. Not with you--"
"Do it for me," Jess ordered.
"I won't lose you again." Marcus changed into his demon form and stepped in front of Jess.
"I told you, not many people would miss me..." The ninja teleported to the edge of the 'black quicksand.' She stepped back as it neared her feet. I don't want to risk hopping in there. I know Sienna is part fire demon, but I don't know how well she gets along with the shadows... She looked up at Marcus, who was further from the sand than she was.
The Halfling came up in front of Jess slashing out with her claws, her eyes were still solid black, and they didn't go back to their normal red coloration yet. After a few slashes at the other demoness, Callista did a back flip landing back down into the shadowed area. She could move without being detected for the most part in her little realm, her eyes flashed for a moment as she made the shadow move a lot faster. The Halfling had her new target, moving along she shot up landing in front of Marcus. She snarled narrowing her eyes at the demon… what did she see in him? Nothing now… he was just like all the rest of the men she knew… all the bastards. Growling Callista attempted to smack the crap out of Marcus' face; if she could drag him into her realm… he'd be in trouble since only she had the ability to get in and out of it on her own.
"Tell me why you're doing this!" Marcus shouted, blocking the hits. He didn't want to hit her, yet. Jess took a few steps back before running forward and leaping. She was going to try to tackle the other demoness.
Callista snarled, and kept on Marcus with her attacks. She felt the impact of the other demoness against her back… but her attention kept solid on Marcus. The Halfling narrowed her eyes, taking a couple steps forward making the shadow under her feet spread out more. Growling she went for a kick to the gut on the demon, she knew she could easily just sink down into her realm to get rid of Jess… that is if she felt like sinking down.
Jess quickly teleported off and in front of Marcus, seeing the kick in action. Since he was busy guarding his head, he didn't exactly pay attention to his stomach. The demoness felt herself let out a slight grunt. She was shorter than the demon so it went a bit higher than her stomach. Marcus was aware that Jess had taken the blow for him. Her ribs cracked back in place, making some popping noises as she stood in front of the other demoness open to attack.
Callista growled and narrowed her eyes seeing how Jess had jumped in the way, hissing she grabbed the other demoness by the collar of her shirt "Out of my way…" the Halfling let out spinning around chucking the other demoness behind her. Her attention returned to Marcus as she attempted to slam her tail into his side, trying to knock the demon off balance was the main thing going on in the Halflings mind right now… what happened next… well she didn't know.
Jess quickly teleported before she hit the shadow area. She still landed on her back on another area of the ground. I'm sorry, Kaileena... She thought to herself as she looked at the cloudy sky. I'm not a good mother. I can't beat this bitch so how am I going to get Amelia? The ninja clenched her fists. I can't avenge you...
I know you're going to be a great mother to Shiro and Sai. Kaileena's voice responded in Jess' head.
I've forgotten. You almost got me pregnant with a dragon's baby. She rolled on all fours. Why am I always putting myself down? The demoness stood up. I didn't even know you're my daughter until a few days ago...
Marcus back flipped out of the way, hoping she wouldn't go after him.
Callista growled and jumped up diving back down into the shadowed area. This place was to her advantage she could move without being seen. The Halfling came up behind Marcus and tried to slam her claws through his stomach, she didn't give a damn about anyone anymore. She'd gotten a taste for blood during this fight… it had set off those held up emotions that just made her want to kill for the hell of it.
Marcus grunted when he felt something go through his stomach. He looked down to see that he'd been impaled. Unlike Jess, his healing abilities took longer and if he wasn't strong enough, he'd have to heal like a normal human.
The demoness watched in horror as the demon had blood dripping out the side of his mouth.
"Callista!" Jess yelled, running towards the two.
Callista snarled and jerked her hand out from Marcus' stomach wrapping the bloodied appendage around his throat she pulled him back into her body "I don't know why I loved you… but I'm happy that I was the one to kill you." She let out with a hiss, her eyes focused on Jess watching she was running over. The Halfling snorted, smirking for a moment she knew she could sink down into the shadows that were under her feet if she needed. "Maybe there's a special place in hell for you… my dear master. Then I could enjoy tormenting you more…" She let out in a whisper by his ear smirking more.
"I'll be sure to cause problems down there..." Marcus responded. He was too weak to do any time warp due to the blood loss. Jess teleported in front of him then with him, back inside the house. One of the few rooms that weren't destroyed was hers and the bathroom.
"You're not going anywhere..." Jess let out, placing a hand over the wound. The demon grabbed her hand and took it off.
"You know... maybe it is time for me to die--" He murmured before she kissed him. "Lucky you... You're not going to hell..."
"I know you won't, but I won't take my chances of letting you stay down there with her." The ninja placed her other hand over the wound and healed it. She leaned back and against the wall.
"What do you think you're doing! Now we're both too weak to kill her!" The demon exclaimed.
"Me? Weak?" Jess questioned before teleporting back outside.
Callista let out a chuckle and held up her claws tasting the blood that was on them. She smirked for a moment, oh how that stuff tasted so good now… blood lust? Heh the thought of that made her laugh loudly, it's been so long since she's had a blood lustful event happen to her. The Halfling felt a sharp impact come in front her back… growling she turned around sending a black blast of flames into the attackers face. She smirked when she heard the thud of a body making contact with the ground "Stupid mutt…" Callista muttered out smirking when she saw the bloodied up face of Luth.
Jess watched Callista turn around to attack something. She stopped, not knowing what in the world was going on. Marcus was still extremely weak, and the woman's healing technique wasn't a 100 guarantee. After a few moments, she charged again at a high speed towards Callista.
Callista snorted and glanced over her shoulder, her eyes going back to their solid red color as the black flames surround her body again. She sunk down into the shadowed area again, sensing Jess coming at her. The Halfling felt Marcus' aura in the house, she'd deal with him if he were still alive after she got rid of Jess again.
The demoness stopped before she reached the shadow area. She mentally cursed at herself for not remembering her weapons. Of course, she didn't want to summon them unless it was truly necessary. And she didn't want to go back due to Marcus being in the house. "Come on!" Jess yelled. "Are you afraid?"
"Not exactly…" The Halfling let out coming up behind Jess as she attempted to slam her claws down into the demoness' shoulder. "Why would I be afraid of your pathetic ass?" She let out with a growl.
Jess quickly dodged the claw and grabbed at Callista's hand. She was running on mostly anger. "Pathetic ass? I don't think I have a donkey," The ninja let out sarcastically.
"I was under the impression that you looked like one." The Halfling let out jerking her hand away as she tried to head butt Jess. "Then again, if you looked like one Marcus wouldn't have fucked you."
Jess moved out of the way. "You're quite a looker yourself, but to him, looks aren't everything," She was on the defensive side now that she was too slow to attack.
"If I was a beautiful as people said then I wouldn't have been used!" Callista let out slashing at Jess with her claws "All men are the same… they just want a woman so they can screw… they don't give a fucking damn about our emotions or our feelings!" she let out as she continued to slash at Jess.
"You're wrong!" Jess shouted, dodging and blocking hits. "But if you didn't try to screw them before you got to know them then they wouldn't look to you just for sex!"
"I thought that way when I met Lucifer…" The Halfling let out as she drew back on clawing and went for a kick to the stomach. "I never tried anything with him… we got to know each other and a year after we were married he started to drift away!" She let out growling as she returned to slashing "He just gave me slaves… he never spent time with me… I was always 'second best' to his little bitches that he fucked all the time."
Jess felt the blow to the stomach. The healing drained her energy as she fell to her knees. "Well, I guess that's what you get for marrying a devil..." She chuckled. "So is that what this is all about? Being second best?..." The ninja waited for the 'killing blow,' although it would just hurt like hell instead of kill her. Of course, it really depended if it was a decapitation or not. "What a crybaby... can't get what she wants so she destroys..."
"My mother and my father only made me because they wanted power. I'm doing what they want by destroying things…" Callista let out with a hiss, her fangs getting bared as she narrowed her eyes. She kicked the demoness in the bottom of her jaw "Kadaj seems to be second best to you… seeing how you've always been cheating on him." The Halfling stated as she slammed her claws down into Jess' shoulders, she smirked for a moment letting her eyes go black as her aura surrounded her "I guess you and me are a little alike… we can't keep with one man." The demoness stated as she attempt to slam her jaws down around Jess' throat.
Jess rolled out of the way just in time, using her last bit of energy. "Well..." She began. "At least I'm on Marcus' good side." The ninja had broken bones while blocking hits, making her loose energy. And that blow to the stomach didn't help, either. "Kadaj is one of the best things that have ever happened to me..." She waited for Callista to finish her off. "I wish I never cheated on him..." Tears came out of her eyes. "I guess you're right... we're more alike than we think... yet we're completely different..." Jess turned her head to face Callista. "My husband loves me..."
Callista jerked her head back narrowing her eyes snarling, a growl coming out through gritted fangs. The ninja had just broken a line… and the Halfling didn't like that. Walking over she just grabbed the other demoness by the throat lifting her up to so that she was face to face. The Halfling shifted back to her human form, her eyes were still red "At least you understand the meaning of true love…" she let out tossing the ninja to a side before she backed up and sunk herself down into the shadows once again.
Jess landed on her side. She didn't have any cuts or bruises at all because her healing technique sucked up her energy. So stupid... She thought to herself. I need to practice that technique more than a couple times before using it for battle. The woman picked up the upper half of her body with her arms. She sat up, trying to stand. Yeah, I'm going psychotic. I'm hearing dead people's voices.
I know you can do it.
I don't need your encouragement.
Why are you so cold towards me? You don't even know me--
Exactly. Jess was hearing Kaileena's voice again. She blocked out the rest of her talk before standing up. When I was a teenager, I wouldn't shut up. I guess that's where you get it from... Jess started towards the house. She had enough energy to walk there and teleport out... but not teleport twice. The healing had to wear off on its own now.
"I didn't say you could leave yet…" Callista's voice came out as she slowly came up in front of Jess from the ground, she walked over to the ninja "Give this to Marcus… and tell him not to summon me even if that fucking beeper goes off…" she let out handing the ninja a box before she disappeared.
Jess looked at the box for a moment. Could it be a trap? She then started walking towards the house again. No offense, Callista, but I don't think he's going to summon you for awhile. The demoness sighed after her thought
